The hidden costs of flexibility: A comparative study of OHS outcomes in using temporary agency work
基于PDR框架，比较一家跨国公司两个工厂使用临时派遣工的职业健康与安全结果，发现组织实践差异影响工伤和疲劳风险，对管理者有警示作用。
This article addresses a gap in comparative research regarding the role of organisational factors in shaping occupational health and safety (OHS) outcomes when using temporary agency work (TAW). Using the Economic Pressures–Work Disorganisation–Regulatory Failure (PDR) framework, the article applies a comparative case study approach to analyse OHS outcomes in two sites of one multinational company. The findings reveal how differences in organisational practices embedded in different institutional contexts shape TAW use, influencing exposure to work-related injuries and exhaustion. These effects are particularly evident in the context of workforce segmentation, where trade-offs and unintended consequences emerge for the user firm.
