推进对小企业职业安全和健康产生更大影响的研究的一个关键步骤是更好地理解“小企业”一词的含义。该术语不仅需要反映企业的就业人数和财务资源，而且还需要反映小企业中所代表的人的心理社会经验。在本文中，我们将讨论几个维度在不同定义小企业结构中的作用，包括：员工数量、企业年龄、结构、劳动力、经理中心和文化。随着对小企业标签达成更大的共识，可以为小企业职业安全和健康研究、政策和实践制定更有重点的框架。
A critical step toward advancing research for achieving greater impact on occupational safety and health in small businesses is to have a better understanding of what is meant by the term 'small business'. The term needs to reflect not only the number of people employed and the financial resources of an enterprise, but also the psychosocial experience of the people that are represented in small businesses. In this article we discuss the role of several dimensions in differentially defining the small business construct, including: number of employees, business age, structure, workforce, manager centricity, and culture. As greater consensus on the small business label is reached, more focused frameworks for small business occupational safety and health research, policy and practice may be developed.
