Productivity Gains from the Implementation of Employee Training Programs
Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 411-425 - 1994
This study uses data on the personnel policies and economic characteristics of
businesses in the manufacturing sector to measure the impact of formal training
programs on labor productivity. The major finding is that businesses that were
operating below their expected labor productivity levels in 1983 implemented new
employee training programs after 1983 that resulted in significantly larger
incre...
The Impact of Training Intensity on Establishment Productivity
Tập 45 Số 1 - Trang 26-46 - 2006
The empirical literature on productivity effects of continuing training is
constantly increasing. However, the results on this subject differ widely.
Explanations for this worrying diversity seem to lie in differences between
countries, labor market institutions, and data generation on one hand, and in
differences between the underlying estimation techniques on the other (Bartel,
2000). This paper...
Institutional Environments, Employer Practices, and States in Liberal Market Economies
Tập 41 Số 2 - Trang 249-286 - 2002
This article draws on the new institutionalism in economics, sociology, and
political studies in order to establish a foundation for analyzing how states
shape employer human resource management and union relations. It then reviews
and extends the available literature on this topic, establishing how, in
addition to legal regulation, states help to shape the cognitive and normative
rules that under...
Does an Advanced Degree Reduce the Gender Wage Gap? Evidence from MBAs
Tập 42 Số 3 - Trang 396-418 - 2003
This article uses a longitudinal survey of registrants for the Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT) to compare the gender wage gap among MBA
recipients with the gap among nonrecipients. We find evidence that the gender
wage gap is lower among GMAT takers who obtained the MBA than among those who
did not. This suggests that women with advanced degrees may face less
discrimination in labor mark...
Productivity Levels & Productivity Change Under Unionism
Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 94-113 - 1988
This paper examines how unions affect the rate of productivity change. The
direction of union impact cannot be predicted from economic theory. Firms may
select either more productive technologies to offset higher union wages or less
productive technologies to keep union wage demands in line. Evidence from
manufacturing indicates that unions have not affected productivity growth; in
construction, p...
Getting Hired: Sex and Race
Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 416-443 - 2005
The hiring process is currently probably the least understood aspect of the
employment relationship. It may very well be the most important for
understanding the broad processes of stratification with allocation by sex and
race to jobs and firms. A central reason for the lack of knowledge is that it is
very difficult to assemble extensive data on the processes that occur at the
point of hiring. We...
Vacation Time and Unionism in the U.S. and Europe
Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 180-194 - 1988
American employees receive substantially less paid vacation than Europeans
despite earning higher real wages and having greater personal wealth. Here we
present past and current averages for individual countries, along with a brief
history of the growth of paid vacations in the U.S. and Europe. Regression
analyses of individual household data from the U.S. indicate that union
membership substantia...
Being Different Can Hurt: Effects of Deviation from Physical Norms on Lawyers’ Salaries
Tập 41 Số 3 - Trang 442-466 - 2002
A recent federal appeals court ruling barred employment bias against obese
people. A reconsideration of the association between being overweight and salary
is therefore in order. This article examines the effect of being overweight and
thin on lawyers’ salaries as reported in the 1984 National Lawyer Survey. Using
regression models derived from the clinical nutrition literature as well as
models b...
Half a Career: Discrimination & Railroad Internal Labor Markets
Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 423-440 - 1990
This paper examines the causes and consequences of the racial structure of
railroad internal labor markets in the American South. By 1900, many southern
railroads hired blacks almost exclusively for middle‐level occupations on their
trains but did not permit their promotion to top‐level positions. This
institutionalized bias in promotion helps explain the employment of whites and
blacks at identic...
