Terdapat 3 faktor utama penyebab kecelakaan lalu lintas, 90% disebabkan oleh faktor manusia terkait perilakunya saat berkendara.  Perilaku mengemudi berisiko mencakup pelanggaran (violations), kesalahan (errors), dan kelalaian (lapses). Pengemudi angkutan barang dipenuhi dengan berbagai bahaya yang berisiko, seperti kompleksitas armada, tingginya intensitas pengiriman barang, jarak tempuh panjang, serta kondisi jalan yang bervariasi. Kombinasi dari faktor-faktor tersebut dapat memengaruhi munculnya perilaku mengemudi berisiko. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui determinan perilaku mengemudi berisiko dari faktor motivation, ability, role perception, situational factor pada pengemudi angkutan barang PT XYZ Cabang Makassar. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan responden kuesioner sebanyak 50 pengemudi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner standar Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) dan kuesioner yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data menggunakan Chi Square. Penelitian ini melibatkan pengemudi dengan mayoritas usia produktif 30 – 39 tahun (94,6%), memiliki pendidikan SMP (44,0%), dan 88,0% sudah menikah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku mengemudi berisiko seimbang antara tinggi dan rendah (50,0%). Faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku tersebut dapat diketahui dari faktor motivasi; sistem reward & punishment (p=0,005), faktor ability; pengalaman mengemudi (p=0,024), situational factor; jenis muatan (p=0,046).

There are three main factors contributing to road traffic accidents, with approximately 90% being caused by human factors related to driving behavior. Risky driving behavior includes violations, errors, and lapses. Truck drivers are exposed to various occupational hazards, such as fleet complexity, high delivery demands, long driving distances, and varying road conditions. The combination of these factors may influence the occurrence of risky driving behavior. This study aimed to determine the determinants of risky driving behavior based on motivation, ability, role perception, and situational factors among freight transport drivers at PT XYZ Makassar Branch. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 50 drivers as respondents. Data were collected using the standardized Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) and a questionnaire developed specifically for this study. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. The study participants were predominantly within the productive age group of 30–39 years (94,6%), had a junior high school education level (44,0%), and were mostly married (88,0%). The results showed that the proportion of drivers with high and low risky driving behavior was equal (50,0%). Factors associated with risky driving behavior included motivation factors, namely the reward and punishment system (p = 0,005); ability factors, namely driving experience (p = 0,024); and situational factors, including type of cargo (p = 0,046).
