本文匹配企业层面的工作场所转型数据与累积性创伤障碍指标，发现质量圈和准时制生产与累积性创伤障碍呈显著正相关，对关注职业健康的管理者和研究者有参考价值。
This article matches establishment‐level data on workplace transformation (e.g., quality circles, work teams, and just‐in‐time production) with measures of cumulative trauma disorders at these same establishments to explore the relationship between “flexible” workplace practices and workplace health and safety. The results reveal a positive, statistically significant, and quantitatively sizable relationship between cumulative trauma disorders and the use of quality circles and just‐in‐time production.
