Abstract
To discover the evolution rules of strategy choice for the group safety behavior of grass-roots employees, the payment matrix for the behavioral interaction among employees is constructed by virtue of the evolutionary economics. Through analysis of evolution model for the interactive process of behavior, the influence of strategy choice for the employees’ individual behavior on the evolution of group behavior is revealed. Through numerical simulation, the study on the influence of variation in the different initial proportion and different parameters of group on the evolutionary trend. The result shows that it is conducive for grass-roots employees to have their behavior evolve towards the expected direction if business executives strengthen the safety check, fair in meting out rewards or punishments, improve employees’ awareness to the cost of safety noncompliance behavior, lower the satisfaction from noncompliance operation, optimize the operation procedure and pre-job safety education and training.
