Following a revision-stage construct and dependency audit, we synthesized 194 zero-order correlations from 63 reports representing 64 independent samples (\n N<\/jats:italic>\n = 22,846) with random-effects models.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Job demands were positively associated with strain (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f0.321), job resources with motivation (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f0.578), and motivation with safety behavior (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f0.439). The pooled strain\u2013safety behavior association was small and inconclusive (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f\u22120.060; I\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f99.0%). The two cross-links were based on few samples and are therefore descriptive only: demands\u2013motivation\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f\u22120.124 (\n k<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f5) and resources-strain\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f\u22120.294 (\n k<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f3). No evidence of heat-proxy subgroup differences was found for resources\u2013motivation (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f0.628) or motivation\u2013safety behavior (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n =\u202f0.463), while demands\u2013strain and strain\u2013safety behavior could not be tested because no eligible high-heat samples remained.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n These results indicate insufficient evidence to establish heat moderation, rather than evidence that heat is irrelevant. Most evidence was cross-sectional, and heterogeneity was substantial. Construction managers should strengthen supervisory support, safety climate, and safety motivation while also managing heat exposure directly through exposure monitoring, hydration, shade, and work\u2013rest controls.<\/jats:p>\n
