Occupational accidents have emerged as a global concern, necessitating a comprehensive examination of their determinants and associated costs. This review aims to summarize, synthesize, and organize the factors and cost drivers of occupational accidents, exploring whether there is a gender perspective. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we performed a narrative synthesis to systematically review relevant literature. A systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Two researchers screened all records to eliminate any duplicates, and they selected the articles for full review. A third researcher was consulted to resolve discrepancies and reach a consensus. The analysis of 15 studies revealed diverse perspectives; in terms of determinants, studies on organizational aspects and the theory of human error were grouped together, while in cost drivers, the human capital model and willingness to pay were the most frequently used. Gender, meanwhile, is identified as a determinant variable for accident rate. Additionally, limitations such as data underestimation were noted in the existing literature. The review highlights the need for empirical studies capable of addressing both determinants and cost drivers. It also provides guidelines for researchers to design studies that are more comparable across different contexts, including the gender debate.
职业事故已成为一个全球关注的问题，需要对其决定因素和相关成本进行全面审视。本综述旨在总结、综合并梳理职业事故的因素和成本驱动因素，探讨是否存在性别视角。我们遵循PRISMA指南，进行了叙述性综合分析，以系统地回顾相关文献。在电子数据库PubMed、科学网和Scopus中进行了系统检索。两名研究人员筛选所有记录以消除重复项，并选择文章进行全文审查。咨询了第三名研究人员以解决分歧并达成共识。对15项研究的分析揭示了不同的观点；在决定因素方面，关于组织方面和人为失误理论的研究归为一类，而在成本驱动因素方面，人力资本模型和支付意愿是最常被使用的。与此同时，性别被确定为事故发生率的一个决定变量。此外，现有文献中指出了数据低估等局限性。该综述强调了开展能够同时解决决定因素和成本驱动因素的实证研究的必要性。它还为研究人员设计在不同背景下更具可比性的研究提供了指导方针，包括性别辩论。
