The Impact of Training on Innovation / Benoit Dostie in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp. 64–87 Titre : The Impact of Training on Innovation Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Benoit Dostie Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp. 64–87 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ INNOVATION ; INVESTISSEMENT EN FORMATION ; FORMATION PROFESSIONNELLE ; CANADA ; MODELISATION Résumé : The firm’s stock of human capital is an important determinant of its ability to innovate. As such, any increase in this stock through firm-sponsored training might lead to more innovation. The author tests this hypothesis using detailed data on firms’ human capital investments and innovation performance from the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey, 1999–2006. The regression results, including workplace fixed effects and allowing for time-varying productivity shocks, demonstrate that more training leads to more product and process innovation, with on-the-job training playing a role that is as important as classroom training. Results from an event history analysis show, however, that this impact fades over time.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=61793 [article] The Impact of Training on Innovation [document électronique] / Benoit Dostie . - 2018 . - pp. 64–87.

What Do Performance Appraisals Do? / Peter Cappelli in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp. 88–116 Titre : What Do Performance Appraisals Do? Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Peter Cappelli ; Martin J. Conyon Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp. 88–116 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ EVALUATION DU PERSONNEL ; PERFORMANCE ; PROMOTION ; ANALYSE DES DONNEES ; ETATS UNIS Résumé : Performance appraisals, the evaluation of an employee’s job performance over the previous period by one’s supervisor, are a standard practice in virtually every organization. They are one of the most important, time-consuming, and unpopular tasks in management. Despite this, remarkably little is known about how performance appraisals operate, especially their consequences. Indeed, much of what is written from a practitioner perspective typically suggests that they do little. By contrast, we document empirical evidence of the importance of performance appraisals using data from a large US corporation. The results in this case show that appraisals are informative and directly influence many dimensions of employee outcomes, including employee bonuses, merit pay, employee promotions, and decisions to exit the firm. The evidence shows that the appraisal process here is consistent with a relational, open-ended view of employment. It is not consistent with the common economic view that performance appraisals simply settle-up contractually based employment relationships.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=61796 [article] What Do Performance Appraisals Do?

Back to Work / Sebastian Schmitz in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp. 143–173 Titre : Back to Work : Parental Benefits and Mothers’ Labor Market Outcomes in the Medium Run Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Sebastian Schmitz ; Jochen Kluve Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp. 143–173 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ POLITIQUE SOCIALE ; EMPLOI DES FEMMES ; RELATION TRAVAIL-FAMILLE ; ALLEMAGNE ; ANALYSE DES DONNEES ; REINSERTION PROFESSIONNELLE Résumé : The authors estimate policy impacts of a generous parental benefit in Germany by using a natural experiment and German census data. They estimate policy effects for the short run (first two years after childbirth) as well as for the medium run (that is, three to five years after childbirth). Although the results confirm the evidence from previous studies for the short run, pronounced patterns emerge for the medium run. First, effects on mothers’ employment probability are positive, significant, and large, ranging up to 10%. These gains are driven primarily by increases in part-time employment and working hours but also by full-time employment for high-income mothers. Moreover, mothers return to their previous employers at significantly higher rates, and employers reward this by raising job quality. The overall positive and sizeable impacts of the reform are centered on mothers from the medium and high terciles of the income distribution; low-income mothers do not benefit.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=61798 [article] Back to Work : Parental Benefits and Mothers’ Labor Market Outcomes in the Medium Run [document électronique] / Sebastian Schmitz ; Jochen Kluve . - 2018 . - pp. 143–173.

The Occupational Feminization of Wages / John T. Addison in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp. 208–241 Titre : The Occupational Feminization of Wages Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John T. Addison ; Orgul Demet Ozturk ; Si Wang Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp. 208–241 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ EMPLOI DES FEMMES ; SALAIRE ; FEMME ; DIVISION SEXUELLE DU TRAVAIL ; INEGALITE SALARIALE ; MODELISATION ; ETATS UNIS Résumé : This article updates the 1995 study by Macpherson and Hirsch that used monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) data from 1973 to 1993 to examine the effects of occupational gender composition on earnings. In the updating process, the authors correct for biases in this data set that are attributable to the inclusion of imputed earners and the misreporting of occupation. They use CPS data from 1996 to 2010 to provide cross-sectional estimates of the impact of the feminization of occupations on wages, as well as its contribution to the gender wage gap. Longitudinal CPS data indicate that the negative effects of gender composition on earnings observed in cross-sectional data are lessened when researchers control for observed heterogeneity and are much reduced when controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. These findings are confirmed using much longer panels from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). Finally, the use of synthetic panels of aging cohorts suggests that wage penalties are largest for younger cohorts in predominantly female occupations.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=61799 [article] The Occupational Feminization of Wages [texte imprimé] / John T.
