노사협의회의 활성화 수준과 산업안전

This study conducts an empirical study on whether activeness of labor-management consultation council(LMCC) reduces occupational injury and illness (OII), as an extension of Nho‧No(2025). Applying Kaufman & Levine(2000)’s theory on the collective voice of non-union employee representation, we draw the following hypotheses : a veritable entity, substantial operation, active collective voice, and granted collective bargaining right of LMCC will lower occupational injury and illness. We also explore how strike right granted to LMCC affects occupational injury and illness. To test the hypotheses, we apply panel data fixed effects models with the rate of occupational injury and illness as their dependent variable. We use the non-union manufacturing sample of the 6th-9th waves (2015-21) of Workplace Panel Survey collected by Korea Labor Institute. The results of this study indicate that the active collective voice, and the granted collective bargaining right of LMCC have a statistically negative effects on occupational injury and illness, and that its veritable entity has a weakly negative effect with the level of α=0.10(two-tailed), whereas the substantial operation of MLCC does not affect it significantly. The granted strike right has a statistically positive effect on occupational injury and illness. Finally we summarize and interpret the empirical results, and discuss their implications.
