Using both quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined teen workers' perceptions about their work environments and the ways in which teens believe workplaces can be made safer.
We conducted telephone interviews (n = 117) and six focus groups (n = 49) with two separate samples of North Carolina teens who worked in the retail trade sector.
Survey findings indicate one-fifth of teens used equipment they thought dangerous; nearly 40% always or often felt rushed at work; and about half received training on how to avoid injury. Teens in the focus groups expressed concerns about workplace physical hazards, the threat of assault, being rushed, and having little power in the work environment. They also indicated that their workplace safety training was ineffective and that child labor laws were unnecessary.
In order to be effective, interventions targeted at working teens need to address the organization of work and adolescent-manager interaction patterns.
本研究运用定量和定性数据，调查了青少年工人对其工作环境的看法，以及青少年认为可使工作场所更安全的方式。
我们对北卡罗来纳州零售业的两组不同青少年样本进行了电话访谈（n = 117）和六个焦点小组访谈（n = 49）。
调查结果显示，五分之一的青少年使用他们认为危险的设备；近40%的青少年在工作中总是或经常感到匆忙；约一半的青少年接受过如何避免受伤的培训。焦点小组中的青少年表达了对工作场所物理危害、攻击威胁、工作匆忙以及在工作环境中权力较小的担忧。他们还表示，他们的工作场所安全培训无效，童工法没有必要。
为了有效，针对在职青少年的干预措施需要解决工作组织和青少年与管理者的互动模式问题。
