무엇이 일터혁신의 산업안전 효과를 조절하는가?: 인적자원관리와 기술혁신을 중심으로

Abstract

This study conducts an empirical study on whether HRM and automated technology
 moderate the impact of workplace innovation on occupational injury and illness, using the
 manufacturing sample of the 6th-8th rounds of Workplace Panel Survey(2015-2019)
 collected by Korea Labor Institute. Conjecturing that the inconsistent safety effects of
 workplace innovation in the previous studies are due to the varying characteristics of
 workplace innovation practices, we draw the following hypotheses: HRM and automation
 rate moderates negatively the effect of workplace innovation on occupational injury and
 illness. Besides, we explore the effects of workplace innovation, HRM, and automated
 technology on occupational injury and illness. We estimate panel-data fixed effects models.
 Their dependent variables are simple and recognized occupational injury and illness rate,
 and their main independent variables are workplace innovation, HRM, automation rate, and
 their interaction terms. The results of this study indicate the following: HRM moderates
 positively the reducing effect of workplace innovation on occupational injury and illness,
 and automation rate partially moderates it positively. Workplace innovation does not have
 a significant reducing effect on occupational injury and illness, while HRM and automation
 rate partially have significantly negative and positive ones respectively. Finally the results
 are summarized and interpreted, and their implications are discussed.
