This study examines safety culture performance determinants in mature offshore oil and gas companies, focusing on case study of a company in Indonesia. Key factors identified include management commitment, safety leadership, personal attitudes, communication, competency, and workplace conditions. A mixed-method approach combines qualitative interviews and quantitative analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings reveal that management commitment significantly enhances safety compliance. Safety leadership positively influences both safety compliance and participation, emphasizing the importance of effective leadership. Personal attitudes toward safety also impact compliance and participation, highlighting the role of individual beliefs. Communication is crucial for safety participation, stressing the need for clear organizational communication channels. Competency, through training and skills, ensures adherence to safety protocols and active participation in safety activities. Workplace conditions, including the physical and organizational environment, significantly affect safety compliance and participation. The study underscores the mediating role of safety compliance and participation in translating management commitment, leadership, personal attitudes, communication, competency, and workplace conditions into improved safety culture performance. Enhancing safety compliance and participation fosters a robust safety culture. Theoretical contributions include a new path model linking these factors to safety culture performance, enriching safety management theory. Practically, the study recommends stronger management commitment, fostering safety leadership, promoting positive safety attitudes, improving communication, investing in competency development, and ensuring supportive workplace conditions. The study acknowledges limitations, such as a single-company sample, suggesting future research should explore diverse contexts and larger samples with longitudinal designs.
