1 Introduction

e Global Coal Market Report (2018ndash2023) jointly orga-nized by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and theNational Energy Group points out that coal is still the coreof the global energy system and global coal demand willremain stable in the next ve years e Coal Market Report2017 jointly issued by the China Oce of the SustainableCities and Communities (SUC) Project and the Interna-tional Energy Agency (IEA) also points out that ensuringthe economic benets and ensuring the safety of coal in-dustry are recent policy priorities In order to ensure the

sustainable development of the coal industry we must payattention to the safety of the coal industry Currently whilethe safety performance of coal mines in China has improvedoverwhelmingly year after year [1 2] coal-mine safety ac-cidents are still frequent and the industry still has an ap-palling record of fatalities [3] e losses caused by coal-mine safety accidents are catastrophic Coal-mine safetyaccidents not only cause huge casualties but also cause hugeeconomic losses and hinder the sustainable development ofcoal mining industry meanwhile they have a strong neg-ative impact on social stability erefore improving coal-mine safety production is the key to promoting the

sustainable development of coal mining industry and is oneof the problems that China need to solve urgently

In order to reduce the occurrence of coal-mine safetyaccidents improve the current situation of coal-mine safetyproduction and ensure the sustainable development of coalmining industry domestic and foreign scholars have studiedeffective countermeasures to promote coal-mine safetyproduction from different perspectives and aspects

e first research stream of coal-mine safety productionenhancement focuses on the human factors such as con-trolling the unsafe behavior of miners e unsafe behaviorof miners is the most direct cause of coal-mine safety ac-cidents and the main reason for destroying the normaloperation of coal-mine safety production [4ndash6] e minersalways face a trade-off between work stress for safe operationand psychological benefits for unsafe operation andreaching higher psychological and spiritual benefits mighthave strong substitution effects with safe operationerefore alleviating the work stress response of miners andimproving the safety behavior of them are the key to en-suring the normal operation of coal-mine safety productionAt present most scholars explore the generating mechanismof the unsafe behavior of miners and results indicate that theindividual characteristics (safety awareness knowledge andskills safety attitude physical quality and experience) ofminers [7ndash9] and environmental factors [10ndash12] (workingenvironment equipment environment social environmentfamily environment etc) have significant impact on theminersrsquo behavioral decisions which will in turn affect thesafety production of coal mining enterprises

e second research stream of coal-mine safety pro-duction enhancement focuses on the organizational factors[13ndash15] e organizationrsquos investments in safety culturepropaganda safety training safety regulations and safetyincentives will affect the level of the safety climate and thusaffect the minersrsquo behavioral decisions ultimately affectingthe safety production of coal mining enterprises In shortthe level of safety climate of organization plays an importantrole in the operation of coal-mine safety production and theimprovement level of safety climate depends on the orga-nizationrsquos emphasis and the attention degree on safety[16 17] According to the theory of social exchange [18ndash20]the safety climate level of organization and the behavioraldecision of miners are equivalent and reciprocal At the sametime the supervision of first-line managers also affects thebehavioral decision making of miners And the behavioraldecision-making model of miners [21] indicates that theexpected total value of minersrsquo unsafe behavior is deter-mined by the decision weight function and the psychologicalvalue function and the decision weight function is closelyrelated to the supervision effect of supervisors Before theminers make decisions the supervision effect of supervisorswill affect the minersrsquo expectations of the taskrsquos interests inthe decision making it influences the decision weightfunction and the psychological value function and theninfluences the behavior decision which ultimately affects thesafety production level of coal-mine enterprises And somestudies [22 23] comprehensively analyzed human factorsand organizational factors involved in mining accidents and

determined the relationships among these factors e re-sults showed that the human factors including skill-basederrors routine violations and planned inappropriate op-eration and environmental factors had a higher relativeimportance in the accidents Moreover the environmentalfactors and human factors had a higher influence on unsafeacts

e research streams of the previous two focus on theinfluencing mechanism of internal and external factors(individual characteristics machinery and equipmentworking environment and organization management) oncoal-mine safety production and the ldquopeople-machine-ring-tuberdquo causal system is gradually formed to our knowledgemost of them analyze coal-mine safety production and itsinfluencing factors from static and a single perspective andthey are short of research on the interaction of variousfactors from the perspective of overall system neglecting thesubjective initiative of individual behavior

In order to make up for the above defects the thirdresearch stream of coal-mine safety production enhance-ment focuses on the gaming behaviors of stakeholders eearly game research studies [24ndash27] on coal-mine safetyproduction mainly analyzed the relationship between thecoal-mine regulators and coal enterprise and concluded thatthe coal enterprisersquos inadequate safety investment was thereal cause of the frequent accidents and proposed that thepenalty for the coal enterprisersquos unlawful production shouldbe strengthened in the short term ese studies provide apromising foundation to explain the high incidence of coalaccidents in China and improve the situation of coal-minesafety production However the above research studiesmainly focus on statically analyzing the game between twostakeholders and neglect the dynamic process of game playIn order to explain the dynamic process of coal-mine safetyproduction more systematically and comprehensively Liuet al [28] explored the use of evolutionary game theory todescribe the long-term dynamic process of multiplayer gameplaying in coal-mine safety regulation under the condition ofbounded rationality Furthermore the multiplayer evolu-tionary game was simulated by adopting system dynamics toanalyze the implementation effect of different penaltystrategies on the game process and game equilibrium Topromote the safety education level of Chinarsquos coal miningenterprises the government coal mining enterprises andemployees are included in the evolutionary game model toexplore the game relation and evolutionary path of thedecision-making behavior among the three stakeholders inthe safety management system [29 30] However they focusmainly on analyzing the game between the external entitiessuch as the government the enterprises themselves and theemployees from a macro perspective are short of researchon revealing the dynamic interactions among the actorsdirectly involved in the coal-mine accidents and also onproposals for effective interactions that will lead to improvedsafety outcomes Although Yu et al [31] constructed anevolutionary game model of workersrsquo behavior in coalmining enterprises only the static game between the twoagents such as the managers and miners was consideredActually the stakeholders in coal-mine safety production

system include the organization the first-line miners andthe first-line managers and the operational system is theprocess in which these game agents interact with each otherin complex environments [32ndash34] In the process of coal-mine safety production the players operate within boundedrationality and their strategy selections are not alwaysunchanged or static instead they change strategies dy-namically by observing and comparing payoffs with othersand adjusting their strategy selections leading the evolu-tionary stable states in the game erefore to help addressthis gap in the research this paper explores the use ofevolutionary game theory to describe the long-term dynamicprocess of multiplayer game playing in coal-mine safetyproduction under the condition of bounded rationalityFurthermore the multiplayer evolutionary game is simu-lated by adopting Matlab simulation technology to analyzeits stability and then effective stability control strategies areproposed and checked based on the simulation analysisincluding the set of stakeholders

e remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 constructs a trilateral evolutionary game model ofcoal-mine safety production and analyzes the stability andbalance of the game model Section 3 presents the three-player evolutionary game simulation based on Matlabsimulation technology and finds the best stable equilibriumpoint Section 4 discusses the effectiveness of simulationresults and internal driving strategy of coal-mine safetyproduction Finally concluding remarks are presented inSection 5

2 Trilateral Game Model of Coal-MineSafety Production

Evolutionary game theory was developed to overcome thedisadvantages of traditional game theory when analyzing thebounded rationality of players and the dynamic process ofgame playing [35ndash39] In the process of coal-mine safetyproduction in China the players are bounded rational andthey change their strategies dynamically by observing andcomparing payoff with others and then adjust their strate-gies erefore evolutionary game theory is more suitablefor studying the long-term dynamic game of bounded ra-tional players in Chinarsquos coal-mine safety productionsystem

21 Game Design and Description Currently the work be-havior of all employees in the coal-mine enterprise deter-mines the status of coal-mine safety production Here thesafety production system is defined relative to the safetysupervision system e current game system of coal-minesafety supervision is the game between the companyrsquos ex-ternal regulators (including national regulators and localsafety regulators) and the coal mining enterprises them-selves however the safety production system refers to thegame among the participants in the internal safety man-agement system of coal-mine enterprise e stakeholders incoal-mine safety production system include the organiza-tion the first-line miners and the first-line managers

Among them the organization refers to the senior managersof coal-mine enterprises and their main duties includeformulating reasonable reward punishment measures andsafety management decisions the first-line miners representthe employees who carry out front-line operations whoseunsafe behavior most directly leads to accidents and thefirst-line managers are safety supervision departmentswhich mainly supervise the daily safety of coal minerserefore the work behavior includes the senior regulationof the organization the safe operation of the miners and thegrass-root supervision of the mangers e systemicallyevolutionary game of these stakeholders in the coal-minesafety production is developed and studied

According to the Regulations of Coal Mining SafetyManagement the organization is responsible for protectingcoal enterprisesrsquo production situation by the incentivestrategy To represent their incentive strategy in the evo-lutionary game model we designated x (0le xle 1) as theincentive ratio of the organization When x= 0 or x= 1 itrepresents general incentive or positive incentive Further-more the decisions about the incentive strategy have costimplications e positive incentive cost is high so limitedincentive level is practical During the process of coalmining r1 represents the profits from positive incentive andc1 represents the safety investment cost of positive incentiveIf the organization chooses general incentive it will save thesafety investment cost but may increase the accidentprobability and then result in an expected loss later on andthe cost which organization adopts general incentive is c2c1 lt c2 and the profit is r2

e miners choose y (0le yle 1) as their strategy in theiroperation process in which y represents safety operationratio When y 0 or y 1 it represents unsafe operation andsafe operation respectively During the process of coalmining t1 represents the safety performance of safe oper-ation t2 represents the safety rewards of safe operationunder positive incentives t3 represents the safety rewards ofsafe operation under general incentives and c3 representsthe safe operation cost If the miners choose unsafe oper-ation it will save the cost and gain physical and mentalbenefits but may increase the accident probability and thenresult in an expected punishment loss later on During thisprocess t4 represents the physical and mental profits t5represents the safety performance of unsafe operation c4represents the unsafe operation cost c5 represents the finewhen the unsafe behavior of miner are supervised and re-ported by the manager and c6 represents the bribe cost ofminer paying to the manager

e managers choose z (0le zle 1) as their strategy whensupervising the miners in which z represents supervisionratio of the managers When z 0 it represents the dere-liction supervision duty and even power rent seeking andz 1 represents strict execution of supervision dutiesDuring the process of supervising s1 represents the partialldquocommissionrdquo profits from fines for their safety supervisionwork s3 represents the safety performance of safety su-pervision s5 represents the safety rewards of safety super-vision under positive incentives s6 represents the safetyrewards of safety supervision under general incentives and

Complexity 3

c7 represents the safety supervision cost If the managerschoose dereliction of supervision duty and even power rentseeking they will gain rents from miners but also undertakeexpected loss later at the same time During this rent-seekingprocess s2 represents the ldquobriberdquo profits s4 represents thesafety performance of rent seeking s4 lt s3 and c7 representsthe rent-seeking cost

e above variables are shown in Table 1 Furthermorethe payoff matrix among the organization miners andmanagers is shown in Table 2 according to above precedingassumption and analysis

22 Game Solution According to the evolutionary gametheory replicator dynamics is used to represent the learningand evolution mechanism of individuals in the process ofcoal-mine safety production erefore the organizationrsquospositive incentive fitness and general incentive fitness can beobtained as follows based on the above analysis and Table 2

From the local stability of the Jacobian matrix it can beseen that when the equilibrium point is brought into thematrix J to satisfy both the determinant DetJgt 0 and the traceTrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is an evolutionary stabilitystrategy and the decision-making agent reaches the evo-lutionary stability strategy (ESS) if the determinant DetJgt 0and the trace TrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is unstable if thedeterminant DetJlt 0 and the trace TrJ 0 or is indetermi-nate the equilibrium point is a saddle point e stabilityanalysis results of the above eight equilibrium points are asfollows

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

As shown in Figure 4 when the net profits of organi-zationrsquos positive incentive are greater than the net profits ofthe general incentive the net profits of the unsafe operationare less than the net profits of safe operation and the safetysupervision cost of managers is less than the profits re-gardless of the initial proportion of x y and z the threeagents will choose the optimal and initial decision and thegreater the initial proportion the shorter the time to reach

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

sustainable development of coal mining industry and is oneof the problems that China need to solve urgently

In order to reduce the occurrence of coal-mine safetyaccidents improve the current situation of coal-mine safetyproduction and ensure the sustainable development of coalmining industry domestic and foreign scholars have studiedeffective countermeasures to promote coal-mine safetyproduction from different perspectives and aspects

e first research stream of coal-mine safety productionenhancement focuses on the human factors such as con-trolling the unsafe behavior of miners e unsafe behaviorof miners is the most direct cause of coal-mine safety ac-cidents and the main reason for destroying the normaloperation of coal-mine safety production [4ndash6] e minersalways face a trade-off between work stress for safe operationand psychological benefits for unsafe operation andreaching higher psychological and spiritual benefits mighthave strong substitution effects with safe operationerefore alleviating the work stress response of miners andimproving the safety behavior of them are the key to en-suring the normal operation of coal-mine safety productionAt present most scholars explore the generating mechanismof the unsafe behavior of miners and results indicate that theindividual characteristics (safety awareness knowledge andskills safety attitude physical quality and experience) ofminers [7ndash9] and environmental factors [10ndash12] (workingenvironment equipment environment social environmentfamily environment etc) have significant impact on theminersrsquo behavioral decisions which will in turn affect thesafety production of coal mining enterprises

e second research stream of coal-mine safety pro-duction enhancement focuses on the organizational factors[13ndash15] e organizationrsquos investments in safety culturepropaganda safety training safety regulations and safetyincentives will affect the level of the safety climate and thusaffect the minersrsquo behavioral decisions ultimately affectingthe safety production of coal mining enterprises In shortthe level of safety climate of organization plays an importantrole in the operation of coal-mine safety production and theimprovement level of safety climate depends on the orga-nizationrsquos emphasis and the attention degree on safety[16 17] According to the theory of social exchange [18ndash20]the safety climate level of organization and the behavioraldecision of miners are equivalent and reciprocal At the sametime the supervision of first-line managers also affects thebehavioral decision making of miners And the behavioraldecision-making model of miners [21] indicates that theexpected total value of minersrsquo unsafe behavior is deter-mined by the decision weight function and the psychologicalvalue function and the decision weight function is closelyrelated to the supervision effect of supervisors Before theminers make decisions the supervision effect of supervisorswill affect the minersrsquo expectations of the taskrsquos interests inthe decision making it influences the decision weightfunction and the psychological value function and theninfluences the behavior decision which ultimately affects thesafety production level of coal-mine enterprises And somestudies [22 23] comprehensively analyzed human factorsand organizational factors involved in mining accidents and

determined the relationships among these factors e re-sults showed that the human factors including skill-basederrors routine violations and planned inappropriate op-eration and environmental factors had a higher relativeimportance in the accidents Moreover the environmentalfactors and human factors had a higher influence on unsafeacts

e research streams of the previous two focus on theinfluencing mechanism of internal and external factors(individual characteristics machinery and equipmentworking environment and organization management) oncoal-mine safety production and the ldquopeople-machine-ring-tuberdquo causal system is gradually formed to our knowledgemost of them analyze coal-mine safety production and itsinfluencing factors from static and a single perspective andthey are short of research on the interaction of variousfactors from the perspective of overall system neglecting thesubjective initiative of individual behavior

In order to make up for the above defects the thirdresearch stream of coal-mine safety production enhance-ment focuses on the gaming behaviors of stakeholders eearly game research studies [24ndash27] on coal-mine safetyproduction mainly analyzed the relationship between thecoal-mine regulators and coal enterprise and concluded thatthe coal enterprisersquos inadequate safety investment was thereal cause of the frequent accidents and proposed that thepenalty for the coal enterprisersquos unlawful production shouldbe strengthened in the short term ese studies provide apromising foundation to explain the high incidence of coalaccidents in China and improve the situation of coal-minesafety production However the above research studiesmainly focus on statically analyzing the game between twostakeholders and neglect the dynamic process of game playIn order to explain the dynamic process of coal-mine safetyproduction more systematically and comprehensively Liuet al [28] explored the use of evolutionary game theory todescribe the long-term dynamic process of multiplayer gameplaying in coal-mine safety regulation under the condition ofbounded rationality Furthermore the multiplayer evolu-tionary game was simulated by adopting system dynamics toanalyze the implementation effect of different penaltystrategies on the game process and game equilibrium Topromote the safety education level of Chinarsquos coal miningenterprises the government coal mining enterprises andemployees are included in the evolutionary game model toexplore the game relation and evolutionary path of thedecision-making behavior among the three stakeholders inthe safety management system [29 30] However they focusmainly on analyzing the game between the external entitiessuch as the government the enterprises themselves and theemployees from a macro perspective are short of researchon revealing the dynamic interactions among the actorsdirectly involved in the coal-mine accidents and also onproposals for effective interactions that will lead to improvedsafety outcomes Although Yu et al [31] constructed anevolutionary game model of workersrsquo behavior in coalmining enterprises only the static game between the twoagents such as the managers and miners was consideredActually the stakeholders in coal-mine safety production

system include the organization the first-line miners andthe first-line managers and the operational system is theprocess in which these game agents interact with each otherin complex environments [32ndash34] In the process of coal-mine safety production the players operate within boundedrationality and their strategy selections are not alwaysunchanged or static instead they change strategies dy-namically by observing and comparing payoffs with othersand adjusting their strategy selections leading the evolu-tionary stable states in the game erefore to help addressthis gap in the research this paper explores the use ofevolutionary game theory to describe the long-term dynamicprocess of multiplayer game playing in coal-mine safetyproduction under the condition of bounded rationalityFurthermore the multiplayer evolutionary game is simu-lated by adopting Matlab simulation technology to analyzeits stability and then effective stability control strategies areproposed and checked based on the simulation analysisincluding the set of stakeholders

e remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 constructs a trilateral evolutionary game model ofcoal-mine safety production and analyzes the stability andbalance of the game model Section 3 presents the three-player evolutionary game simulation based on Matlabsimulation technology and finds the best stable equilibriumpoint Section 4 discusses the effectiveness of simulationresults and internal driving strategy of coal-mine safetyproduction Finally concluding remarks are presented inSection 5

2 Trilateral Game Model of Coal-MineSafety Production

Evolutionary game theory was developed to overcome thedisadvantages of traditional game theory when analyzing thebounded rationality of players and the dynamic process ofgame playing [35ndash39] In the process of coal-mine safetyproduction in China the players are bounded rational andthey change their strategies dynamically by observing andcomparing payoff with others and then adjust their strate-gies erefore evolutionary game theory is more suitablefor studying the long-term dynamic game of bounded ra-tional players in Chinarsquos coal-mine safety productionsystem

21 Game Design and Description Currently the work be-havior of all employees in the coal-mine enterprise deter-mines the status of coal-mine safety production Here thesafety production system is defined relative to the safetysupervision system e current game system of coal-minesafety supervision is the game between the companyrsquos ex-ternal regulators (including national regulators and localsafety regulators) and the coal mining enterprises them-selves however the safety production system refers to thegame among the participants in the internal safety man-agement system of coal-mine enterprise e stakeholders incoal-mine safety production system include the organiza-tion the first-line miners and the first-line managers

Among them the organization refers to the senior managersof coal-mine enterprises and their main duties includeformulating reasonable reward punishment measures andsafety management decisions the first-line miners representthe employees who carry out front-line operations whoseunsafe behavior most directly leads to accidents and thefirst-line managers are safety supervision departmentswhich mainly supervise the daily safety of coal minerserefore the work behavior includes the senior regulationof the organization the safe operation of the miners and thegrass-root supervision of the mangers e systemicallyevolutionary game of these stakeholders in the coal-minesafety production is developed and studied

According to the Regulations of Coal Mining SafetyManagement the organization is responsible for protectingcoal enterprisesrsquo production situation by the incentivestrategy To represent their incentive strategy in the evo-lutionary game model we designated x (0le xle 1) as theincentive ratio of the organization When x= 0 or x= 1 itrepresents general incentive or positive incentive Further-more the decisions about the incentive strategy have costimplications e positive incentive cost is high so limitedincentive level is practical During the process of coalmining r1 represents the profits from positive incentive andc1 represents the safety investment cost of positive incentiveIf the organization chooses general incentive it will save thesafety investment cost but may increase the accidentprobability and then result in an expected loss later on andthe cost which organization adopts general incentive is c2c1 lt c2 and the profit is r2

e miners choose y (0le yle 1) as their strategy in theiroperation process in which y represents safety operationratio When y 0 or y 1 it represents unsafe operation andsafe operation respectively During the process of coalmining t1 represents the safety performance of safe oper-ation t2 represents the safety rewards of safe operationunder positive incentives t3 represents the safety rewards ofsafe operation under general incentives and c3 representsthe safe operation cost If the miners choose unsafe oper-ation it will save the cost and gain physical and mentalbenefits but may increase the accident probability and thenresult in an expected punishment loss later on During thisprocess t4 represents the physical and mental profits t5represents the safety performance of unsafe operation c4represents the unsafe operation cost c5 represents the finewhen the unsafe behavior of miner are supervised and re-ported by the manager and c6 represents the bribe cost ofminer paying to the manager

e managers choose z (0le zle 1) as their strategy whensupervising the miners in which z represents supervisionratio of the managers When z 0 it represents the dere-liction supervision duty and even power rent seeking andz 1 represents strict execution of supervision dutiesDuring the process of supervising s1 represents the partialldquocommissionrdquo profits from fines for their safety supervisionwork s3 represents the safety performance of safety su-pervision s5 represents the safety rewards of safety super-vision under positive incentives s6 represents the safetyrewards of safety supervision under general incentives and

Complexity 3

c7 represents the safety supervision cost If the managerschoose dereliction of supervision duty and even power rentseeking they will gain rents from miners but also undertakeexpected loss later at the same time During this rent-seekingprocess s2 represents the ldquobriberdquo profits s4 represents thesafety performance of rent seeking s4 lt s3 and c7 representsthe rent-seeking cost

e above variables are shown in Table 1 Furthermorethe payoff matrix among the organization miners andmanagers is shown in Table 2 according to above precedingassumption and analysis

22 Game Solution According to the evolutionary gametheory replicator dynamics is used to represent the learningand evolution mechanism of individuals in the process ofcoal-mine safety production erefore the organizationrsquospositive incentive fitness and general incentive fitness can beobtained as follows based on the above analysis and Table 2

From the local stability of the Jacobian matrix it can beseen that when the equilibrium point is brought into thematrix J to satisfy both the determinant DetJgt 0 and the traceTrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is an evolutionary stabilitystrategy and the decision-making agent reaches the evo-lutionary stability strategy (ESS) if the determinant DetJgt 0and the trace TrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is unstable if thedeterminant DetJlt 0 and the trace TrJ 0 or is indetermi-nate the equilibrium point is a saddle point e stabilityanalysis results of the above eight equilibrium points are asfollows

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

As shown in Figure 4 when the net profits of organi-zationrsquos positive incentive are greater than the net profits ofthe general incentive the net profits of the unsafe operationare less than the net profits of safe operation and the safetysupervision cost of managers is less than the profits re-gardless of the initial proportion of x y and z the threeagents will choose the optimal and initial decision and thegreater the initial proportion the shorter the time to reach

By comparing Figures 5ndash8 it can be found that thedynamic game system needs 5 s to reach a steady state in theinitial setting when only the reward strategy is adopted thesystem can be stabilized in 25 s which can be reduced byhalf when only the penalty strategy is adopted the systemcan be stabilized in 35 s when the reward strategy and thepenalty strategy are adopted at the same time the system canbe stabilized in 2 s e above numerical simulation resultsshow that the combination of positive incentive policies andstrict penalties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

In the study the decision-making behavior evolutionpath and evolution law of three stakeholders of organizationminers andmanagers are revealed and the stable conditionsfor the main decision to reach the ideal state are found oute simulation is carried out to provide theoretical referenceand practical guidance for the organization safety incentive

system include the organization the first-line miners andthe first-line managers and the operational system is theprocess in which these game agents interact with each otherin complex environments [32ndash34] In the process of coal-mine safety production the players operate within boundedrationality and their strategy selections are not alwaysunchanged or static instead they change strategies dy-namically by observing and comparing payoffs with othersand adjusting their strategy selections leading the evolu-tionary stable states in the game erefore to help addressthis gap in the research this paper explores the use ofevolutionary game theory to describe the long-term dynamicprocess of multiplayer game playing in coal-mine safetyproduction under the condition of bounded rationalityFurthermore the multiplayer evolutionary game is simu-lated by adopting Matlab simulation technology to analyzeits stability and then effective stability control strategies areproposed and checked based on the simulation analysisincluding the set of stakeholders

e remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 constructs a trilateral evolutionary game model ofcoal-mine safety production and analyzes the stability andbalance of the game model Section 3 presents the three-player evolutionary game simulation based on Matlabsimulation technology and finds the best stable equilibriumpoint Section 4 discusses the effectiveness of simulationresults and internal driving strategy of coal-mine safetyproduction Finally concluding remarks are presented inSection 5

2 Trilateral Game Model of Coal-MineSafety Production

Evolutionary game theory was developed to overcome thedisadvantages of traditional game theory when analyzing thebounded rationality of players and the dynamic process ofgame playing [35ndash39] In the process of coal-mine safetyproduction in China the players are bounded rational andthey change their strategies dynamically by observing andcomparing payoff with others and then adjust their strate-gies erefore evolutionary game theory is more suitablefor studying the long-term dynamic game of bounded ra-tional players in Chinarsquos coal-mine safety productionsystem

21 Game Design and Description Currently the work be-havior of all employees in the coal-mine enterprise deter-mines the status of coal-mine safety production Here thesafety production system is defined relative to the safetysupervision system e current game system of coal-minesafety supervision is the game between the companyrsquos ex-ternal regulators (including national regulators and localsafety regulators) and the coal mining enterprises them-selves however the safety production system refers to thegame among the participants in the internal safety man-agement system of coal-mine enterprise e stakeholders incoal-mine safety production system include the organiza-tion the first-line miners and the first-line managers

Among them the organization refers to the senior managersof coal-mine enterprises and their main duties includeformulating reasonable reward punishment measures andsafety management decisions the first-line miners representthe employees who carry out front-line operations whoseunsafe behavior most directly leads to accidents and thefirst-line managers are safety supervision departmentswhich mainly supervise the daily safety of coal minerserefore the work behavior includes the senior regulationof the organization the safe operation of the miners and thegrass-root supervision of the mangers e systemicallyevolutionary game of these stakeholders in the coal-minesafety production is developed and studied

According to the Regulations of Coal Mining SafetyManagement the organization is responsible for protectingcoal enterprisesrsquo production situation by the incentivestrategy To represent their incentive strategy in the evo-lutionary game model we designated x (0le xle 1) as theincentive ratio of the organization When x= 0 or x= 1 itrepresents general incentive or positive incentive Further-more the decisions about the incentive strategy have costimplications e positive incentive cost is high so limitedincentive level is practical During the process of coalmining r1 represents the profits from positive incentive andc1 represents the safety investment cost of positive incentiveIf the organization chooses general incentive it will save thesafety investment cost but may increase the accidentprobability and then result in an expected loss later on andthe cost which organization adopts general incentive is c2c1 lt c2 and the profit is r2

e miners choose y (0le yle 1) as their strategy in theiroperation process in which y represents safety operationratio When y 0 or y 1 it represents unsafe operation andsafe operation respectively During the process of coalmining t1 represents the safety performance of safe oper-ation t2 represents the safety rewards of safe operationunder positive incentives t3 represents the safety rewards ofsafe operation under general incentives and c3 representsthe safe operation cost If the miners choose unsafe oper-ation it will save the cost and gain physical and mentalbenefits but may increase the accident probability and thenresult in an expected punishment loss later on During thisprocess t4 represents the physical and mental profits t5represents the safety performance of unsafe operation c4represents the unsafe operation cost c5 represents the finewhen the unsafe behavior of miner are supervised and re-ported by the manager and c6 represents the bribe cost ofminer paying to the manager

e managers choose z (0le zle 1) as their strategy whensupervising the miners in which z represents supervisionratio of the managers When z 0 it represents the dere-liction supervision duty and even power rent seeking andz 1 represents strict execution of supervision dutiesDuring the process of supervising s1 represents the partialldquocommissionrdquo profits from fines for their safety supervisionwork s3 represents the safety performance of safety su-pervision s5 represents the safety rewards of safety super-vision under positive incentives s6 represents the safetyrewards of safety supervision under general incentives and

Complexity 3

c7 represents the safety supervision cost If the managerschoose dereliction of supervision duty and even power rentseeking they will gain rents from miners but also undertakeexpected loss later at the same time During this rent-seekingprocess s2 represents the ldquobriberdquo profits s4 represents thesafety performance of rent seeking s4 lt s3 and c7 representsthe rent-seeking cost

e above variables are shown in Table 1 Furthermorethe payoff matrix among the organization miners andmanagers is shown in Table 2 according to above precedingassumption and analysis

22 Game Solution According to the evolutionary gametheory replicator dynamics is used to represent the learningand evolution mechanism of individuals in the process ofcoal-mine safety production erefore the organizationrsquospositive incentive fitness and general incentive fitness can beobtained as follows based on the above analysis and Table 2

Let F(x y z) (dxdt) and substitute equations (1) and(2) into equation (4) and then get equation (5) as followsnamely organizationrsquos replicated dynamic equation

From the local stability of the Jacobian matrix it can beseen that when the equilibrium point is brought into thematrix J to satisfy both the determinant DetJgt 0 and the traceTrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is an evolutionary stabilitystrategy and the decision-making agent reaches the evo-lutionary stability strategy (ESS) if the determinant DetJgt 0and the trace TrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is unstable if thedeterminant DetJlt 0 and the trace TrJ 0 or is indetermi-nate the equilibrium point is a saddle point e stabilityanalysis results of the above eight equilibrium points are asfollows

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

As shown in Figure 4 when the net profits of organi-zationrsquos positive incentive are greater than the net profits ofthe general incentive the net profits of the unsafe operationare less than the net profits of safe operation and the safetysupervision cost of managers is less than the profits re-gardless of the initial proportion of x y and z the threeagents will choose the optimal and initial decision and thegreater the initial proportion the shorter the time to reach

By comparing Figures 5ndash8 it can be found that thedynamic game system needs 5 s to reach a steady state in theinitial setting when only the reward strategy is adopted thesystem can be stabilized in 25 s which can be reduced byhalf when only the penalty strategy is adopted the systemcan be stabilized in 35 s when the reward strategy and thepenalty strategy are adopted at the same time the system canbe stabilized in 2 s e above numerical simulation resultsshow that the combination of positive incentive policies andstrict penalties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

From the local stability of the Jacobian matrix it can beseen that when the equilibrium point is brought into thematrix J to satisfy both the determinant DetJgt 0 and the traceTrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is an evolutionary stabilitystrategy and the decision-making agent reaches the evo-lutionary stability strategy (ESS) if the determinant DetJgt 0and the trace TrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is unstable if thedeterminant DetJlt 0 and the trace TrJ 0 or is indetermi-nate the equilibrium point is a saddle point e stabilityanalysis results of the above eight equilibrium points are asfollows

(3) e condition that the equilibrium point E3 (0 1 0)is satisfied as the stable equilibrium point isr1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0 c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 s6 minus c7 lt 0However this condition of s6 minus c7 lt 0 cannot judgethe relationship between the safety regulation costand the profits so the equilibrium point E3(0 1 0) isnot an evolutionary stabilization strategy

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

As shown in Figure 4 when the net profits of organi-zationrsquos positive incentive are greater than the net profits ofthe general incentive the net profits of the unsafe operationare less than the net profits of safe operation and the safetysupervision cost of managers is less than the profits re-gardless of the initial proportion of x y and z the threeagents will choose the optimal and initial decision and thegreater the initial proportion the shorter the time to reach

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

In the study the decision-making behavior evolutionpath and evolution law of three stakeholders of organizationminers andmanagers are revealed and the stable conditionsfor the main decision to reach the ideal state are found oute simulation is carried out to provide theoretical referenceand practical guidance for the organization safety incentive

From the local stability of the Jacobian matrix it can beseen that when the equilibrium point is brought into thematrix J to satisfy both the determinant DetJgt 0 and the traceTrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is an evolutionary stabilitystrategy and the decision-making agent reaches the evo-lutionary stability strategy (ESS) if the determinant DetJgt 0and the trace TrJgt 0 the equilibrium point is unstable if thedeterminant DetJlt 0 and the trace TrJ 0 or is indetermi-nate the equilibrium point is a saddle point e stabilityanalysis results of the above eight equilibrium points are asfollows

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

As shown in Figure 4 when the net profits of organi-zationrsquos positive incentive are greater than the net profits ofthe general incentive the net profits of the unsafe operationare less than the net profits of safe operation and the safetysupervision cost of managers is less than the profits re-gardless of the initial proportion of x y and z the threeagents will choose the optimal and initial decision and thegreater the initial proportion the shorter the time to reach

Now taking x 03 y 05 and z 07 as an examplethe evolutionary trend of the organization miners andmanagers is demonstrated as shown in Figure 5 e finalevolution of the three agents is positive incentive safeoperation safety supervision which confirms the stabilityof the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) erefore the equi-librium point E8 (1 1 1) is the only ideal steady state

32 Stability of the Dynamical Game System with Incentive-Punishment Strategy In order to make the dynamic gamesystem reach the evolutionary steady state more quicklyunder the stable condition that satisfies the ideal state pointE8 (1 1 1) first we increase the incentives (performance payand bonuses) for the safe operation of miners and the safetysupervision of managers the penalty costs for unsafe op-erations of miners and no supervision and even power rentseeking by managers remain unchanged that is the

By comparing Figures 5ndash8 it can be found that thedynamic game system needs 5 s to reach a steady state in theinitial setting when only the reward strategy is adopted thesystem can be stabilized in 25 s which can be reduced byhalf when only the penalty strategy is adopted the systemcan be stabilized in 35 s when the reward strategy and thepenalty strategy are adopted at the same time the system canbe stabilized in 2 s e above numerical simulation resultsshow that the combination of positive incentive policies andstrict penalties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly

safety supervision whether the miner decides to adoptthe safe operation decision will be directly affected bywhether the organization adopts the positive incen-tives and whether the manager adopts safety super-vision Whether the manager adopts the decision ofsafety supervision is influenced by whether the or-ganization adopts the positive incentives and whetherminers adopt safe operation e above result showsthat the decision making of organization miners andmanagers interact with each other the bridge amongthe three agents is the managers so the exiting static

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

3 Simulation Analysis of the EvolutionaryGame Model

Matlab simulation technology is an effective computer sim-ulation method for studying feedback behavior in complexsystems [44ndash49] In the above multiplayer game the indi-viduals constantly imitate and learn from other individuals byobserving and comparing the payoffs with others and thenadjust their strategy selection which constitutes the feedbackbehavior in the group erefore this section will first use theMatlab simulation technology to verify the above threeequilibrium points and then provide an effective simulationplatform to determine reasonable regulation strategies

31 Numerical Simulations of the Stable Equilibrium PointIn order to more intuitively show the evolution path of thesystem the above evolutionary game equilibrium points areanalyzed and verified by numerical simulation

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E4 (0 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions r1 minus c1 minus r2 + c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t3 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s6 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 15 r1 15 c2 11 r2 13 s3 2t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 6 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 4 c6 3s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 7 s6 6 and c7 5

Under the above conditions the initial value of x is fixedand the initial values of y and z are randomly selected toverify the influence of the initial values of y and z on thechange of x with time Taking x 05 as an example theevolution curve of x is as shown in Figure 1(a) It can be seenfrom Figure 1(a) that the difference of the initial values of yand z affect the convergence speed of x but x still mono-tonically decreases and converges to 0 indicating that theproportion of the organization selecting the ldquopositive in-centiverdquo strategy will continue to decrease over time andultimately all will choose the ldquogeneral incentiverdquo strategyregardless of the initial values of y and z Taking z 05 as anexample the values of x and y are varied to obtain theevolution curve of z as shown in Figure 1(c) As can be seenin Figure 1(c) the difference of the initial values of x and yaffect the convergence speed of z but z still monotonicallyincreases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all will choosethe ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy regardless of the initialvalues of x and y Taking y 05 as an example the values of xand z are varied to obtain the evolution curve of y as shownin Figure 1(b) However when the initial proportion of theorganization adopting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy andthe managers adopting the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy isgreater than 07 the miners will finally choose the safeoperation otherwise the miners will eventually choose theunsafe operation which is inconsistent with the stability ofthe equilibrium point E4 (0 1 1) erefore the equilibriumpoint E4 (0 1 1) is not an ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E7 (1 1 0) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0

c3 + t4 minus c4 minus c6 lt 0 and s5 minus c7 lt 0 and the initial values areset as c1 3 r1 4 c2 2 r2 2 s3 4 t1 2 t2 2 t3 1t4 3 t5 1 c3 4 c4 3 c5 6 c6 5 s4 3 s5 2 s6 1and c7 3

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 2(a)ndash2(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 2(a) that the dif-ference of the initial values of y and z affect theconvergence speed of x but x still monotonically increasesand converges to 1 indicating that the proportion of theorganization selecting the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and ultimately all willchoose the ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy regardless of theinitial values of y and z It can be seen from Figure 2(b) thatthe difference of the initial values of x and z has an effect onthe convergence speed of y but y still monotonically in-creases and converges to 1 indicating that the proportionof miners choosing the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy willcontinue to increase over time and eventually all choosethe ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy regardless of the initial valuesof x and z As shown in Figure 2(c) however it is foundthat managers will abandon safety supervision when theinitial probability of the organization adopting ldquopositiveincentiverdquo strategy and the miners adopting ldquosafe opera-tionrdquo strategy is large while the managers will choosesafety regulation when the initial probability of the or-ganization adopting ldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy and theminers adopting ldquosafe operationrdquo strategy is small which isinconsistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E7(1 1 0) erefore the equilibrium point E7 (1 1 0) is notan ideal steady state

In order to make the system finally evolve to the idealstate point E8 (1 1 1) the initial values of each parameterneed to meet the following conditions c1 minus r1 + r2 minus c2 lt 0t4 + t5 minus t1 minus t2 minus c4 minus c5 + c3 lt 0 and c7 minus s5 lt 0 and theinitial values are set as c1 18 r1 20 c2 17 r2 18 s3 6t1 3 t2 3 t3 2 t4 4 t5 2 c3 6 c4 4 c5 7 c6 6s1 3 s2 3 s4 1 s5 6 s6 5 and c7 5

Similarly under the above conditions the evolutioncurves of x y and z are shown in Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) re-spectively It can be seen from Figure 3(a) that the differenceof the initial values of y and z affects the convergence speedof x but x still monotonically increases and converges to 1indicating that the proportion of the organization selectingldquopositive incentiverdquo strategy will continue to increase overtime and ultimately all will choose the ldquopositive incentiverdquostrategy It can be seen from Figure 3(b) that the difference ofthe initial values of x and z has an effect on the convergencespeed of y but y still monotonically increases and convergesto 1 indicating that the proportion of miners choosing theldquosafe operationrdquo strategy will continue to increase over timeand eventually all will choose the ldquosafe operationrdquo strategyAs can be seen in Figure 3(c) the difference of the initialvalues of x and y affects the convergence speed of z but z stillmonotonically increases and converges to 1 indicating thatthe proportion of managers choosing ldquosafety supervisionrdquostrategy will continue to increase over time and eventually allwill choose the ldquosafety supervisionrdquo strategy is is con-sistent with the stability of the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1)

Complexity 7

so the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the unique ideal steadystate

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolution curves of x y and z are shown inFigures 4(a)ndash4(c) respectively

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the initialproportion of a game agent is determined the change of theinitial proportion of the other two agents has no effect on itsfinal strategy choice In order to more accurately describe themutual influence of the three-party game the initial pro-portion of the organization is set to x 04 the initialproportion of the miners is set to y 05 and the initialproportion of the managers is set to z 06 and the

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

By comparing Figures 5ndash8 it can be found that thedynamic game system needs 5 s to reach a steady state in theinitial setting when only the reward strategy is adopted thesystem can be stabilized in 25 s which can be reduced byhalf when only the penalty strategy is adopted the systemcan be stabilized in 35 s when the reward strategy and thepenalty strategy are adopted at the same time the system canbe stabilized in 2 s e above numerical simulation resultsshow that the combination of positive incentive policies andstrict penalties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly

safety supervision whether the miner decides to adoptthe safe operation decision will be directly affected bywhether the organization adopts the positive incen-tives and whether the manager adopts safety super-vision Whether the manager adopts the decision ofsafety supervision is influenced by whether the or-ganization adopts the positive incentives and whetherminers adopt safe operation e above result showsthat the decision making of organization miners andmanagers interact with each other the bridge amongthe three agents is the managers so the exiting static

analyses of the game between two stakeholders hascertain limitations [31] In the process of coal-minesafety production it is necessary to make clear theinfluence relationship among the three

(2) From the analysis on evolution stability we can seethat these equilibrium points of E1 (0 0 0) E2 (0 01) E5 (1 0 0) and E6 (1 0 1) are not stable stateindicating that if the miners choose unsafe oper-ation no matter what strategy the organization andmanagers adopt the evolutionary game model willnot reach the stable state From the perspective of

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

the decision-making of the minersrsquo safe operatione higher the initial proportion of the strategyportfolio of organization and miners the longer thetime of managers converging to a stable ideal statewhich shows that when the initial proportion ofminers adopting safe operation and organizationadopting positive incentives is high the managerswill relax the safety supervision for the miners eresults of this numerical simulation reflect an un-reasonable game between the players inside the coal-mine safety production system which is a problemthat we need to pay attention to and improveFurthermore the strategy portfolio with a relativelyhigh initial proportion of three agents convergesmore quickly to an ideal state than a relatively lowstrategy portfolio Finally we find that the combi-nation of positive incentive policies and strict pen-alties policies can make the game model reach astable state more quickly [28] In summary thisstudy shows that the efficient cooperation among theorganization (positive incentives) miners (safe op-eration) and managers (safety supervision) canmake the coal-mine safety production systemquickly enter the ideal state of stable and safeoperation

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

evolutionary game it is proved that the unsafebehavior of miners is the most direct and maincause of coal-mine safety accidents [2ndash4] and thedecision making of miners plays an important rolein the operation of coal-mine safety production[29ndash31 50 51] In addition the equilibrium pointE3 (0 1 0) is not stable state Even if the miners takesafe operation at the initial stage they will grad-ually evolve the unsafe operation to alleviate thehigh work stress if the organization has been ingeneral incentive state and the manager has notimplemented strict supervision And in the end theminers tend to gain psychological benefits fromunsafe operation and adopt unsafe operationFurthermore the equilibrium points that can makethe evolutionary game model reach a steady stateare E4 (0 1 1) E7 (1 1 0) and E8 (1 1 1) ismeans that certain positive incentive from orga-nization and certain safety supervision frommanagers are necessary for the miners to adoptsafety operation otherwise the miners lack thedriving force to conduct safety operation eorganization and managers should realize that theincentive type mode and strict supervision forsafety production are effective driving factors forminers to take safe operation

(3) From the numerical simulation results we can seethat only the equilibrium point E8 (1 1 1) is the idealsteady state and when three conditions are satisfiedthe three agents can achieve the ideal state① the netprofits of organizationrsquos positive incentive are greaterthan the net profits of the general incentive ② thenet profits of the unsafe operation are less than thenet profits of safe operation and ③ the safety su-pervision cost of managers is less than the profitse three stakeholders who are the organizationminers and managers can achieve the ideal condi-tion that is the ideal safety production state oforganization adopting positive incentive minersadopting safe operation and managers taking safetysupervision It can be seen that the final evolutionarystate of the game model of the organization minersand managers will depend on the organizationrsquosincentive costs organizational benefits the netprofits of miners incentives and costs for managerstaking safety supervision etc [52] In addition wealso find that the higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of miners andmanagers the longerthe time of organization converging to a stable idealstate which shows that when the initial proportionof the miners choosing safe operation and themanagers adopting safety supervision is high theorganization will slow down the rate of positiveincentives e higher the initial proportion of thestrategy portfolio of organization and managers theshorter the time of miners converging to a stableideal state which shows that the cooperation be-tween the organization and managers can speed up

5 Conclusions

rough the evolution analysis on the decision-makingbehavior of three stakeholders namely the organizationminers and managers it is concluded that the incentive costand net profits of organization supervision costs and profitsof managers and net profits of miners are crucial factors toachieve the ideal decision making of stakeholders and thecombination of positive incentive policies and strict pun-ishment policies are the key to ensuring that the game modelquickly reaches a stable state the conclusions are as follows

(1) As the senior manager of coal mining enterprise theorganization can appropriately improve the level ofsafety incentives and formulate reward and pun-ishment mechanisms and provide reasonable eco-nomic and policy support for safety production sothat enterprises can realize the transition from thepenalty type management mode for safety produc-tion to the incentive-punishment management modefor safety production For the organization super-vision scientific methods shall be adopted to pro-mote the efficiency of safety production When boththe miners and managers adopt safe strategy or-ganizations should make more rewards rather thanreduce rewards At the same time it shall be realizedthat the deterrent effect will decline in case of blindlyintensifying supervision and penalty and the gameamong the organization miners and managers willbe more seriouse organization can adopt market-oriented means with the stimulation of economicinterests publicity guidance and policy support soas to enable the coal mining enterprises to internalize

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

the goal of improving the safety production eorganization and managers can use effective safetyeducation to raise minersrsquo awareness and enthusiasmfor safety production and create a good climate forsafety production e expression mechanism of theminersrsquo interests should be provided to ensure theexpression of minersrsquo interests and psychologicalappeals and enable miners to positively and effec-tively communicate with managers such asstrengthening the construction of trade unions andproviding specialized mental health and safetycounseling offices to communicate and guide on thepsychological pressures of miners

(2) As the most direct supervisor of first-line minersthe managers should strengthen the safety super-vision of minersrsquo production operations regardlessof whether miners choose safe operation or unsafeoperation they should strengthen supervision ofminers and they should promote the safety climateof the group through cultural driving and thenpromote the minersrsquo deep sense of safety awarenessand compliance practices Managers shouldstrengthen the safety culture in the group andcreate safety responsibility beliefs of team safetyresponsibility mentality and safety responsibilitybehaviors of team Furthermore managers canprovide counseling and education for the ldquore-sponsibilityrdquo of miners such as holding speechesand photography competitions related to safetyresponsibility In this way the awareness of thesafety behavior of miners is increased and thepossibility of violations is reduced

(3) Miners are the direct executor of coal-mine pro-duction and play a key role in avoiding safety ac-cidents In order to positively respond to the safetyattention of organizations and managers and tobetter protect their own safety and the expression oftheir own interests the miners should not onlystrengthen their own safety awareness and safetyattitude and choose safe operation in their work butalso form a positive and habitual awareness of rightsprotection When individuals face greater workstress or psychological pressure they should posi-tively communicate with managers and organiza-tional departments in order to get help from themand thus relieve stress and work safe instead ofventing emotions through unsafe operation Whenpersonal interests are infringed they should posi-tively report to the trade unions and properly andeffectively protect their rights through legal channelsrather than blindly solving problems

In the study the decision-making behavior evolutionpath and evolution law of three stakeholders of organizationminers andmanagers are revealed and the stable conditionsfor the main decision to reach the ideal state are found oute simulation is carried out to provide theoretical referenceand practical guidance for the organization safety incentive

mode miner safety operation strategy and manager safetysupervision decision making Next the research will focuson the tetragonal evolutionary game of organization groupminers and managers combined with the classic paradigmof cognitive neuroscience using event-related potentialtechnology the research will focus on further experimentverification of the evolution of the decision-making behaviorof the organization group miners and managers to makethe verification process and result more objective scientificand referential
