abstract="This paper clarifies what causal conditions result in &quot;suicide by overwork&quot; instead of &quot;death by overwork.&quot; It conducts crisp-set qualitative comparative analyses (csQCA) of 58 judicial precedents on claims for worker's accidents and damages in Japan. Both &quot;suicide by overwork&quot; and &quot;death by overwork&quot; can be caused by various combinations of conditions. Yet we focus on identifying which combinations cause &quot;suicide by overwork&quot; instead of &quot;death by overwork.&quot; The result reveals that the combination of &quot;inability to attain assigned quota&quot; (the most fundamental condition) and &quot;problems with human relations in the workplace&quot; has the dominant influence on &quot;suicide by overwork.&quot; This finding indicates that &quot;suicide by overwork&quot; occurs when people face problems of human relations in the workplace, such as insulting and berating based on assigned quota rather than overwork.<p /><p>Language: ja</p>",
