本研究的目的是对截至2008年秋季国际上发表的关于计件工资及其对健康和安全的影响的相关研究文章进行广泛的调查和分析。目的是总结和描述这一领域的研究现状，并在可能的情况下从积累的研究成果中得出结论。共对75篇研究文章进行了广泛检查，发现其中31篇相关，并且具有足够的质量来达到本研究的目的。调查中对这些相关文章的结果进行了总结和分析。自20世纪80年代末以来，关于计件工资及其对健康和安全的影响的研究重点发生了变化。最近的研究表明，对健康，肌肉骨骼损伤，体力工作，疼痛和职业伤害有明显的兴趣。以前对风险行为、安全和事故的兴趣仍然存在，但不再主导研究领域，尽管研究仍然稀疏和分散，但关于计件工资影响的许多积累的知识告诉我们，在许多情况下，计件工资对健康和安全有负面影响。31篇研究文章中有27篇发现计件工资对健康和安全的不同方面产生了负面影响，这一事实并不能证明因果关系，但它们共同有力地支持了在大多数情况下计件工资对健康和安全产生负面影响的假设。为了更好地了解计件工资在计件工资被认为有问题的部门中的影响，还需要进一步研究，而且这种研究的设计必须满足需要回答的具体问题。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The purpose of this study was to carry out a broad survey and analysis of relevant research articles about piece rate wages and their effects on health and safety that were published internationally until the fall of 2008. The aim was to summarize and describe the state of the art of the research in this field and if possible draw conclusions from the accumulated research results. A total of 75 research articles were examined extensively and 31 of these were found relevant and had sufficient quality to serve the purpose of this study. The findings of these relevant articles are summarized and analyzed in the survey. Since the late 1980s, there has been a change of research focus regarding piece rates and their effects on health and safety. More recent research shows a clear interest for health, musculoskeletal injuries, physical workload, pains and occupational injuries. The previous interest in risk behavior, security and accidents is still there, but no longer dominates the research scene.Although research is still sparse and fragmented, much of the accumulated knowledge about the effects of piece rate work tells us that piece rates in many situations have a negative effect on health and safety. The fact that 27 of the 31 studied articles found negative effects of piece rates on different aspects of health and safety does not prove causality, but together they give very strong support for the hypothesis that in most situations piece rates have negative effects on health and safety.In order to achieve better knowledge about the effects of piece rates in branches where piece rates are regarded problematic, further research is needed and such research has to be designed to meet the specific questions that are to be answered.
