Abstract
Many accidents and incidents are caused by human behaviors of intentionally not following rules. Nagai et al. focused on the fact that the not well organized relationship between intentional noncompliance and workplace’s activities makes it difficult to determine how to improve workplace’s activities based on the status of intentional noncompliance, and proposed the Ma-Iika Boshi Method ( MIBM ) as a method to overcome this difficulty. They also demonstrated the effectiveness of MIBM by applying it to comparisons of infection prevention measures and safety control measures among different workplaces and occupations. This paper reports on what the authors have learned
about MIBM through more than 10 years research since its proposal, including discussions on the definition and occurrence mechanism of intentional noncompliance, the actual situation of intentional noncompliance in the medical field, systematization of measures to prevent them, and the influence of organizational culture and its overcoming.
