중소기업 근로자의 업무환경 위험 정도가 임금에 미치는 영향 : 산업유형 및 기업규모별 차이를 중심으로

The purpose of this study was to confirm the difference in wages according to industry and firm size, and to determine the influence of working environment risks on wages in consideration of the characteristics of the industry. To this end, ANOVA and hierarchical linear model analysis(HLM) were conducted using the 6th wave of of Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) which is conducted by Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) in South Korea. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the wages of small and medium-sized enterprises employees differ by industry. The higher the exposure to working environment risks, the lower the wages of workers in small businesses. It was found that the higher the psychological risk of the working environment, the higher the wages. In small and medium-sized business employees, the effect of working environment on wages was not significant. Recommendations based on the research results are as follows. It is necessary to prepare specific supplementary measures to provide appropriate compensation for the working environment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) employees. In addition, legal measures to ensure the safety of small and medium-sized enterprises employees need to be expanded. For future research directions, workers' competency and education level should be considered together. Additional research can be done on which variables can reflect the subjective compensation satisfaction of employees, which are qualitative indicators, and the characteristics of the industry.
