. The relationship between enterprise size and psychosocial working conditions has received little attention so far but some findings suggest that conditions are more favorable in small enterprises. This could have a positive impact on workers' mental health. The objective of this study was to test the mediating effect of perceived working conditions in the relationship between enterprise size and anxious or depressive episodes. . Data from the 2010 SUMER - Surveillance Médicale des Expositions aux Risques professionnels (French periodical cross-sectional survey) were analyzed; = 31,420 for the present study. Anxious or depressive episodes were measured with the hospital anxiety and depression scale and the perceived working conditions were psychological demand, decision latitude and social support as assessed with Karasek's job content questionnaire. The indirect effect was tested according to the method proposed by Preacher and Hayes. . In a multivariate logistic regression, the risk of anxious or depressive episodes was found to be lower in micro enterprises (2-9 employees). Formal tests pointed to a significant indirect effect of enterprise size on mental health through perceived working conditions, with a larger effect for psychological demand. . This study highlights perceived working conditions as an explanation of the effects of enterprise size.
. 企业规模与心理社会工作条件之间的关系迄今尚未得到太多关注，但一些研究结果表明，小企业的工作条件更为有利。这可能对工人的心理健康产生积极影响。本研究的目的是检验感知工作条件在企业规模与焦虑或抑郁发作之间的关系中的中介作用。. 本研究分析了 2010 年 SUMER-职业暴露监测（法国定期横断面调查）的数据；本研究共有 31420 人。焦虑或抑郁发作采用医院焦虑和抑郁量表进行测量，感知工作条件采用 Karasek 工作内容问卷评估的心理需求、决策自由度和社会支持。根据 Preacher 和 Hayes 提出的方法检验间接效应。. 在多变量逻辑回归中，发现员工人数为 2-9 人的微型企业发生焦虑或抑郁发作的风险较低。正式检验表明，感知工作条件对心理健康的企业规模间接效应显著，其中心理需求的影响更大。. 本研究强调了感知工作条件是企业规模影响的一个解释。
