Summary/Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of firm size on the individual and organizational outcomes of our manufacturing firms, in other words the economic power of firms, in the scope of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Law No. 6331. Method: Survey method was used as data collection tool. Data were collected in February and May of 2017 from 209 manufacturing companies in small, medium and large scale with different NACE codes from Turkey. The data were analyzed in computer environment using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Findings: It has been found that the firms participating in the research have made compliance expenditures to the OHS Law to fully fulfill the obligations of the OHS Law. Large-scale companies with high financial strength have been found to allocate more resources to OHS than small and medium-scale firms with low financial strength. Medium-scale firms were found to allocate more resources for OHS than small-scale firms. Similarly, it has been found that full fulfillment of OHS law obligations leads to individual and organizational outcomes positively on large and mediumscale firms. The compliance costs made by firms to fulfill OHS law obligations and the resulting organizational outcomes showed a statistically significant difference depending on firm size. In individual outcomes, it was found that firm size did not show any statistically significant difference. Results: In this study, it has been shown that large and medium-scaled enterprises, which have more financial strength compared to small-scale firms, allocate more resources for OHS, which in turn results in greater improvement in individual and organizational outcomes.
