The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determination of a work decision in a small size firm. According to the empirical results, an increase in years of education results in decreasing the probability of working in a small size firm. On the other hand, an increase in years of experience in the labor market results in increasing the probability of working in a small size firm. Based upon the statistical results from the employmeltsequation, two wage equations for a big and a small size firm are estimated in order to calculate the productivity gap. This study finds that there exist productivity differences between two different size of firms. Therefore, the labor policy for reducing wage disparity and wage discrimination against workers employed in a small size firm should be reconsidered as soon as possible.
