Book excerpt: Disagreement among legal scholars over the phenomenon of "contingent employment" has led to disparate prescriptions for reform. For some, government regulation of contingent work is at best unnecessary, and at worst counterproductive, and the best solution would be to eliminate the existing regulations that provide employers with the incentive to create contingent jobs. Others believe current regulations do not go far enough and advocate additional reforms, ranging from expanding mandatory benefits and protections, to facilitating collective bargaining among contingent workers in order to restore such benefits as long-term security, training, and career advancement. The debate about law reform has centered partly on disputes over the size, growth and characteristics of the contingency phenomenon. Workers described as "contingent" under various definitions are so eclectic as to render broad-brush claims on both sides of the debate misleading. As an alternative, I offer the concept of "underemployment"--a failure of the market to match workers with jobs that fully exploit their human capital and preferences--as a better explanation of labor market problems that concern, or ought to concern, policy makers. More fundamentally, however, opponents in the debate disagree on basic assumptions about how labor markets work. Orthodox neoclassical economists, who generally oppose regulation, believe that workers are matched with jobs in accordance with a combination of their human capital, preferences, and employers' needs. Reform-minded "strong segmentationists," by contrast, argue that contingent jobs tend to be dead-end "secondary" jobs, often involuntary and alienating. Finding both orthodox and strong segmentationist accounts incomplete, I turn to "New Keynesian" explanations of labor markets, originally developed to explain equilibrium unemployment. I argue that this third approach can provide important insights on contingent employment that have largely eluded contemporary debates on contingency. Finally, I discuss the implications of New Keynesian accounts for policy reform, identifying directions for further research.

Download or read book Contingent Work written by Kathleen Barker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful 1997 strike by the Teamsters against UPS, and the overwhelming support the American public gave the strikers highlighted the impact of contingent work—an umbrella term for a variety of tenuous and insecure employment arrangements such as temping, independent contracting, employee leasing, and some self-employment and part-time or part-year work. This new book contends that contingent work represents a profound deviation from the employment relations model that dominated most of this century's labor relations. It delineates essential features of contingent work from both the worker's and the organization's point of view. Articulating a variety of perspectives from various disciplines, the contributors examine the business forces driving contingent work and assess the consequences of working contingently for the individual, family, and community, taking into account issues of race, class, and gender. They ask how current labor and employment laws need to be rewritten to provide contingent workers with the same comprehensive protections offered to permanent employees. In the final chapter, the editors comment on the status of research on contingent work and chart future research directions.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated a contingency job design model in an information technology environment. The study involved employees (military and civilian) of two United States Army organizations which develop and operate ADP programs. The objective was to determine whether the design model predicts organization behavior in certain ADP jobs. The study examined the relationship between certain job characteristics (task significance, task identity, skill variety, autonomy, and feedback from the job) and on job behavior as represented by internal motivation, general satisfaction, performance, turnover, and absenteeism. Also, the study examined the extent to which growth needs and work values moderated the relationship betwen job characteristics and job behavior. Results of the study indicate that internal motivation, general satisfaction, and performance of ADP personnel are affected by job characteristics. While growth needs and work values do moderate the relationship, the moderating value is relatively weak. Age, sex, and eduction demonstrated insignificant or weak influence on job behavior. The study was relevant to the United States Army. Nearly eleven thousand Army employees are in ADP jobs. The ultimate result of improved job design can be increased satisfaction and higher quality performance. (Author).

Download or read book Core and Contingent Work in the European Union written by Edoardo Ales and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour and social security law studies have addressed the topic of the decline of the standard employment relationship mainly from the point of view of the growing number of atypical relationships. Only a limited number of studies have examined the issue from the perspective of the differentiation between core and contingent work. Such an examination is necessary as the increase in contingent work leads to complicated legal questions which vary between European states depending on the type of contingent arrangements that have become most prevalent. This book analyses, using a comparative approach, these different types of contingency from a national and EU perspective touching on the work relationship from a labour as well as a social security point of view. The aim of the book is to identify and analyse those questions adopting an innovative approach and to put forward proposals for safeguarding social cohesion within undertakings and European society.
