Introduction Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) is increasingly recognised as an important organisational resource for promoting mental health at work and preventing psychosocial risks, which are aspects of work design, organisation and management that could threaten employees' psychological or physical well-being. While substantial theoretical and empirical evidence supports the role of PSC as a protective factor, limited research has explored how PSC can be deliberately and sustainably enhanced through organisational interventions. This scoping review aims to map PSC-related interventions, synthesise how PSC is conceptualised and operationalised, and identify elements that studies have reported as contributing to strengthening PSC. Methods and analysis This scoping review will follow established methodological frameworks and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines to systematically identify and synthesise studies describing organisational interventions related to PSC. A comprehensive search strategy will be implemented across several databases, including MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ABI/INFORM and Business Source Premier. Eligible studies must describe, implement or evaluate interventions explicitly targeting PSC. Data on intervention types, mechanisms, outcomes and contextual factors will be extracted and narratively synthesised to address the descriptive research questions and map how PSC interventions have been conceptualised and implemented across organisational contexts. This protocol does not involve human participants. The review is not yet registered. Findings will inform future research and organisational practices related to PSC-focused interventions. Ethics and dissemination This review involves analysis of published literature only and does not require ethics approval. Findings will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant academic and professional conferences. Results will be reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and will inform the development of future organisational interventions aimed at enhancing PSC.
