Накратко на български

Връзката между безопасността на работниците и бизнес стратегиите се анализира чрез примери като вътрешната мобилност и смяната на кадрите. Това помага да се разбере как управлението на човешкия капитал влияе върху намаляването на трудовите злополуки без вреда за икономическата устойчивост.

Safety at Work: The relationship between occupational health and safety and firm competitive advantage from human capital.

This project investigates the relationship between employees’ health and safety and human capital strategies by firms. Understanding this relationship is important to shed light on the trade-offs between occupational safety and the economic sustainability of business activities. While health and safety are basic and fundamental workers’ rights, attending to safety issues can be complex and demanding for firms, workers, and regulators. Firms operate under resource constraints and safety management requires the commitment of financial, human, and technological resources. Similarly, workers can experience conflicts between complying with safety guidelines and their experience, skills, bargaining power, and occupations. Moreover, regulation to incentivize and monitor occupational safety without impairing productivity is challenging to design and enforce. These tensions between safety and economic objectives are more salient than ever to managers, workers, scholars, and policy makers because of the COVID-19 pandemic and of the need to redesign jobs in the post-pandemic world of work. The objective of this project is to contribute to the literature on strategy and human resource management by providing an empirical and theoretical account of how human capital management shapes occupational health and safety. The conclusions of the action pertain the relationship between managerial decisions on human capital management and the levels of safety in which workers operate. In particular, the work shows ample scope for organizations to manage internal and external labor markets so as to minimize the hazard of accidents in the workplace with a particular focus on the management of employee internal mobility and turnover. The action was concluded in June 2023.

Цел на проекта

This proposal investigates how investments in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) affect firms’ ability to attract, motivate, and retain employees. The Researcher will examine the European context and investigate how OHS investments and practices of European firms impact their competitive advantage from human capital. The overall ambition of the proposed project is to investigate whether and when firms’ investments in employees’ health and safety yield returns in terms of rents from human capital. This project has two main research objectives. First, the Researcher will use matched employer-employee data from France to analyze how differences in safety investments and practices across firms explain cross-firm differences in human capital outcomes (Cross-firm analysis). Second, the Researcher will collect unique data from (at least) one organization to investigate how differences in safety practices affect employee hiring, performance, and turnover (Within-firm analysis). The proposed project extends the literatures on strategy and human resources by providing an innovative theoretical and empirical account of the relationship between OHS and competitive advantage from human capital. The impact of this project will affect several communities, including scholars in management and OHS, students, as well as business and policy professional.
