Description

The dataset links data from two sources of information: (1) individuals with executive titles in a sample of small to medium- sized enterprises in Alberta were surveyed in 2016 and 2018 about their organization's human resource management practices, and (2) archival organizational-level injury data from Alberta Workers' Compensation Board from 2014 to 2019. Thus, the purpose of this dataset is to connect human resource management practices with injury data at the organizational level in a sample of small- to medium- sized enterprises in Alberta over time. The function of this dataset is to provide greater understanding of potential organizational-level predictors of occupational safety. The variables from the survey were removed prior to posting publicly; contact the researcher for more information.
