PT X, a major mining company in Indonesia, operates within a sector marked by high accident rates, highlighting the need for effective safety practices. This study investigates the relationship between mindful organizing and safety compliance, with safety culture as a mediator, based on Bisbey’s safety framework. Using validated instruments adapted to Indonesian context, data were collected from 204 underground mining employees in Timika, Papua. Results from Hayes Process Model 4 indicate that mindful organizing positively influences safety compliance through a fully mediated effect of safety culture (?=.181; R²=.132; p<.001). The findings emphasize the importance of cultivating safety culture through mindful organizing to improve safety compliance and reduce workplace accidents in high-risk industries.
