This project will examine worker, labor union, and management responses to occupational safety hazards using statistical data from 1977 through 1987. The pimary emphasis will be on how working conditions influence the industrial relations environment and, in turn, the level of productivity in the workplace. The 1982 Census of Construction Industries and the 1987 Censuses of Manufactures and Construction Industries will be used to examine the influence of hazardous working conditions and hazard-related industrial conflict on productivity. Research by the investigator, using the 1977 Census of Manufactures, found hazard-related conflict to significantly reduce productivity in that sector of the economy. This decrease in productivity is the greatest hidden cost of occupational safety and health hazards. The causal chain linking occupational exposures to decreased productivity will be analyzed using five statistical data sources that include information on the quality of industrial relations. Two national cohorts, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Survey, will be analyzed to examine the influence of hazardous conditions on worker turnover. The study will also examine how differences in working conditions influence worker attitudes towards unions, the incidence of union representation elections, the strategies developed by management desirous of remaining nonunion, and the outcomes of union representation elections. Data sets for these analyses will include the 1984 Harris Poll of worker attitudes towards union representation, the 1977-87 National Labor Relations Board union election outcomes data, and the 1978-83 Conference Board surveys of corporate personnel policies and responses to union organizing efforts.

这个项目将检查工人，工会和管理 利用统计数据应对职业安全危害 从1977年到1987年。 最重要的重点将是如何 工作条件影响劳资关系环境 以及工作场所的生产力水平。 1982年 建造业普查及一九八七年建造业人口普查 制造业和建筑业将被用来检查 危险工作条件和与危险有关的 生产力的工业冲突。 研究者的研究， 根据1977年的制造业普查， 冲突严重降低了该部门生产力， 经济 这种生产力的下降是最大的隐藏 职业安全和健康危害的费用。 因果链 将职业暴露与生产力下降联系起来， 使用五个统计数据源进行分析，包括 关于劳资关系质量的信息。 两个国家 收入动态小组研究和国家 纵向调查，将进行分析，以检查的影响， 工人流动的危险条件。 该研究还将 研究工作条件的差异如何影响工人 对工会的态度，工会代表的比例 选举，管理层制定的战略， 剩余的不愈合，以及工会代表的结果 选举 这些分析的数据集将包括1984年 哈里斯调查工人对工会代表的态度， 1977- 1987年全国劳资关系委员会工会选举结果 数据，以及1978-83年世界大型企业联合会对企业的调查， 人事政策和对工会组织工作的反应。
