Book excerpt: This paper seeks to provide new insight into how school and post school training investments are linked to employer workplace practices and outcomes using a unique nationally representative survey of establishments in the U.S., the Educational Quality of the Workforce National Employers Survey (EQW-NES). We go beyond simply measuring the incidence of formal or informal training to examine the determinants of the types employers invest in, the relationship between formal school and employer provided training, who is receiving training, the links between investments in physical and human capital, and the impact that human capital investments have on the productivity of establishments. We find that the smallest employers are much less likely to provide formal training programs than employers from larger establishments. Regardless of size, those employers who have adapted some of the practices associated with what have been called `high performance work systems' are more likely to have formal training programs. Employers who have made large investments in physical capital or who have hired workers with higher average education are also more likely to invest in formal training and to train a higher proportion of their workers, especially in the manufacturing sector. There are significant and positive effects on establishment productivity associated with investments in human capital. Those employers who hire better educated workers have appreciably higher productivity. The impact of employer provided training differs according to the nature, timing and location of the employer investments.

Book excerpt: Using data from a 1994 survey of U.S. establishments, the authors investigate how the incidence, content, and extent of employer-provided training were linked to workplace practices and characteristics, physical capital investments, and workers' education. Formal training programs were positively associated with establishment size, the presence of high-performance work systems (such as Total Quality Management), capital-intensive production, and workers' education level. "General" types of training programs in computing and basic education were most likely in establishments that were large, were part of a multi-establishment firm, had low employee turnover, or had high-performance work systems. The percentage of workers given training was highest in establishments that had made large investments in physical capital or had adopted new forms of work organization, especially in the manufacturing sector. These results suggest that employer-provided training complements rather than substitutes for investments in physical capital and education.

Download or read book Flexible Work Organization and Employer Provided Training written by Annika Campaner and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the hypothesis that flexible work organization involves greater skill requirements and, hence, an increased likelihood of receiving employer provided training. Using unique linked employer-employee data from Germany, we confirm that employees are more likely to receive training when their jobs are characterized by greater decision-making autonomy and task variety, two essential elements of flexibility. Critically, the training associated with workplace flexibility does not simply reflect technology. Skill-biased organizational change plays its own role. Moreover, we show that the training associated with workplace flexibility is disproportionately oriented toward employees with a greater formal education. Our results also provide modest evidence of an age bias of workplace flexibility. However, the link between workplace flexibility and training does not appear to differ by gender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a gap in the literature of the field, Factorial Survey Experiments provides researchers with a practical guide to using the factorial survey method to assess respondents’ beliefs about the world, judgment principles, or decision rules through multi-dimensional stimuli (“vignettes”) that resemble real-life decision-making situations. Using insightful examples to illustrate their arguments, authors Katrin Auspurg and Thomas Hinz guide researchers through all relevant steps, including how to set up the factorial experimental design (drawing samples of vignettes and respondents), how to handle the practical challenges that must be mastered when an experimental plan with many different treatments is embedded in a survey format, and how to deal with questions of data analysis. In addition to providing the “how-tos” of designing factorial survey experiments, the authors cover recent developments of similar methods, such as conjoint analyses, choice experiments, and more advanced statistical tools.

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . .

Download or read book General and Specific Training written by Mark Loewenstein and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Gary Becker first noted in his seminal article on investment in human capital, the effect of training on wages and mobility can be expected to depend crucially on the degree to which the training is specific or general. While Becker's model is well accepted by labor economists, the topic of specific and general training is an area where empirical work is substantially lagging the theory. The degree of generality incorporated in employer-provided training has implications for topics such as welfare policy and how economists interpret the returns to tenure and experience. In this paper, we explicitly document the specificity and generality of employer-provided training and then analyze how wage growth and mobility are influenced by these direct measures of specific and general training. Our empirical work uses data from the 1993 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and the Employer Opportunity Pilot Project survey (EOPP). Each of these surveys asked about the degree of generality incorporated in the training that the individual receives. In spite of the emphasis that labor economists have placed on specific training, we find that workers in the NLSY and employers in the EOPP indicate that most of the skills learned in training are useful elsewhere. Furthermore, utilizing a unique measure of relevant experience in the EOPP data, we show that employers not only frequently recognize the value of skills that workers have learned from training provided by previous employers, but they also substitute previous training for their own training. As one would expect, this substitution only takes place when the skills required on the current job are general. In addition, wage equations estimated from both the EOPP and the NLSY data indicate that skills learned in past jobs are rewarded by a worker's current employer. Our mobility equations are also consistent with the hypothesis that much on-the-job training is quite general. Interestingly, we are unable to find any systematic difference in the wage returns to specific and general training provided by the current employer. This can be partly explained by a combination of measurement error in the data, poorly worded questions that do not measure precisely the economic concepts of specificity and generality, and employers sharing the costs and returns to general as well as specific training. In fact, both our within and across job wage equations are consistent with several recent models that predict that employers will often extract some of the returns to the general training they provide.
