Book Job Mismatches and Career Mobility

Download or read book Job Mismatches and Career Mobility written by Le Wen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does over-education assist or hinder occupational advancement? Career mobility theory hypothesizes that over-education leads to a higher level of occupational advancement and wage growth over time, with mixed international empirical evidence. This paper re-tests career mobility theory directly using a rich Australian longitudinal data set. A dynamic random effects probit model is employed to examine upward occupational mobility, considering two-digit occupational rank advancement and wage growth over three-year intervals. The 'Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia' data across nine years are employed, and a Mundlak correction model is adopted to adjust for unobserved heterogeneity effects and potential endogeneity, both of which are important to over-education analysis. Contrary to career theory, the results point to job mismatch as an economic concern rather than a passing phase, regardless of whether or not workers are skill-matched. Results further show the importance of adjusting for endogeneity.

Book Job Mobility and Class Mobility in Taiwan

Download or read book Job Mobility and Class Mobility in Taiwan written by Yi-Wen Lin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paying specific attention to influences of life events and different timing of taking compulsory military service for Taiwanese people, this dissertation explores time-dependence of job mobility and class mobility throughout careers. The author criticizes that previous research of social mobility focusing on either differences between father's and son's classes or the relationship between one's initial and current statuses do not realize the process of status attainment in which individual characteristics and life courses continuously interact with external structures in the labor market. The analyses in this dissertation demonstrate the dynamics of career mobility by specifying two career stages and investigating the differences in paces and mechanisms of job change and class mobility. All findings lead to the conclusion that the time dependence of career mobility is deeply embedded in the context of life course in a society. For Taiwanese men, the timing of taking CMS (i.e., before or after their first entry into the labor force), which is strongly correlated with their educational level, is crucial to the pace and type of career development. For Taiwanese women, their trajectories of mobility follow the typical scenario of career mobility in which job change happens often during the early career and then settles into relatively stable employment in the later stage. Compared to job mobility, status attainment is more stable and consistent throughout the life time. After specifying the directions of job mobility, results show that upward and downward mobility, which bring significant change in occupational prestige, do not show gender differences in their transition rates, and their patterns are consistent throughout careers. With respect to the transition between social classes, moving into ownership (including employers and self-employed) in later careers is a mainstream transition for all Taiwanese people in spite the fact that women have much lower transition rates than do men. Moreover, this dissertation also examines inter-sector and intra-sector mobility in segmented labor market in Taiwan. Taking selection bias into consideration, this research found that under the assumption of homogeneity, the treatment effects of initial attainment in the public sector have negative effects on job mobility throughout careers. However, when heterogeneity of treatment effects are taken into account, findings reveal that there is no significant heterogeneity in this treatment effect for Taiwanese men, but for Taiwan women, the more likely they are to attain a position in the public sector at the time of first entry into the labor market, based on their educational achievement and social background, the more they benefit via low transition rates of job mobility in their work lives.

Book Occupational Careers

Download or read book Occupational Careers written by Walter L. Slocum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Slocum uses the concept of career as the central integrating idea for a wide range of information about contemporary work and occupations from current social science research, from historical sources, and from his own considerable personal experience and that of his students.This second edition incorporates much new data and many new approaches that provide insight or raise significant questions about the validity of conventional attitudes toward occupational careers. Greater emphasis is placed on the rapid changes that have taken place in recent years in attitudes toward work, on the continuing impact of scientific and technological developments on occupations and work organizations, on new trends in the demand for academic and professional personnel, and on the career-related problems of women and minority groups. In addition, Professor Slocum now presents a more fully developed overview of the major social and cultural factors and processes involved in occupational choice, preparation, and achievement. After introducing the notion of an occupational career as a sequence of increasingly responsible roles and discussing the changing contemporary meanings of work, the author proceeds to analyses of the impact of scientific and technological change on career planning, the occupational requirements of work organizations, occupational status levels, the labor force and employment trends, and recent trends and future prospects in major occupational categories. Chapters are devoted to detailed discussions of the characteristics of professional and scientific occupations, the relationship between education and occupation, special problems of intergenerational and individual occupational mobility, and the dynamics of educational and occupational aspirations and decisions. The final chapter is directed toward the problems of career choice and planning that are likely to confront the young adults for whom the book will be especially useful.The book is brief but com

Book Essays on Career Dynamics Inside Organizations

Download or read book Essays on Career Dynamics Inside Organizations written by Xin Jin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on the theoretical and empirical analysis of individuals' career and wage dynamics inside firms. It addresses three areas of interests in this field: human capital accumulation, signaling, and organization's structural change. The first chapter adopts a task-specific human capital perspective to examine the relationship between individuals' horizontal (i.e. lateral movements) and vertical (i.e. promotions) career mobility in a symmetric learning environment. It extends the theoretical literature on individuals' vertical career mobility by incorporating lateral moves in a standard job assignment model with task-specific human capital accumulation. The main intuition is that, when upper-level jobs require a wider set of task skills compared to lower level jobs, firms use lateral moves to develop their employees' task-specific human capital before promoting them. Consequently, lateral moves are positively correlated with individuals' career progressions. This model predicts that individuals who are laterally moved are more likely to be promoted and to experience larger wage growth compared to individuals who do not move. Further, individuals with very high levels of education are less likely to be laterally moved compared to individuals with lower education levels. These predictions are tested using a large employer-employee linked panel on over 30,000 senior managers in more than 500 of the largest U.S. firms during the period of 1981-1985. The empirical evidence supports the theoretical predictions and shows the importance of lateral mobility in individuals' career and wage dynamics. The second chapter addresses the signaling role of not being promoted and how individuals' wage-profiles are affected by those signals. There is an extensive body of lit- erature concerning the positive signals associated with promotion. However, theoretical investigations of negative signals associated with non-promotion are nearly nonexistent. In this chapter, a model with asymmetric learning is constructed to capture the negative signals associated with non-promotion. The model shows that, when productivity rises little with additional years on the same job level, the negative signal associated with non-promotion leads to wage decreases. On the other hand, a non-promoted worker's wage increases with additional job-level tenure when additional job-level tenure leads to a sizable increase in productivity. Furthermore, individuals who are promoted when human capital rises little from the previous period earn a lower promotion wage than those who are promoted in a previous period. These predictions are tested using the internal personnel records from a large US firm from 1970-1988. The results support the model's predictions to a large extent. In particular, there is a clear hump-shaped pattern in the wage-job-level-tenure profile for workers who stay in the same job level. This result suggests that, besides determining workers' levels of human capital, job tenure carries rich information about individuals' unobserved ability. The trade-off between negative learning and positive human capital accumulation associated with additional tenure shapes the wage-tenure profile. The third chapter examine the impact of organizational changes on wages and the wage distribution inside firms. Over the past twenty years, firms became flatter. There is an extensive literature - both theoretical and empirical - that explores the causes of this delayering trend. The consequences of this trend, on the other hand, are not sufficiently studied. This paper examines how wages and the wage distribution change with firm delayering. A job-assignment model with asymmetric information and a slot constraint is considered. The model predicts that more efficient firms are not necessarily larger than less efficient firms if firms are allowed to adjust their internal organizational structure through delayering. After delayering, wages at all levels increase and the wage distribution becomes more unequal. These predictions match a set of empirical findings in recent studies that are not well explained by existing theories.

Book Bureaucracy and Networks

Download or read book Bureaucracy and Networks written by Qinglian Lu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career mobility in state bureaucracy is an important topic with key implications for policy, development, and labor market dynamics. Existing literature on organizations emphasizes the importance of experience and network connections, whereas careers develop as linear progression in internal labor markets. The standard theories, however, commonly suffer from three issues. First, whereas network research focuses on static effects of connections, I point out the dynamic impacts of connections: the same tie that used to bring career benefits can carry inherent risks in an evolving authority structure. Second, whereas the assumption of linear job ladders prevails in internal labor market theories, I find that such functional ladders rarely exist in large bureaucracies. Third, one of the most challenging issues in organizational research is the limited scope condition, as studies typically focus on a single market or institutional setting. Using unique administrative data from the state bureaucracy of China and the Indian Administrative Service, I tackle these theoretical problems with novel empirical strategies, combining techniques from network analysis, quasi-experiment, and stochastic models. The findings challenge the standard theories, bringing out the contextual variations between organizations in different political systems.
