Beschäftigungsstabilität – Jobsicherheit trotz zunehmender Flexibilisierung?

Der Zuwachs flexibler Beschäftigungsformen in den letzten Jahrzehnten hat u.a. die Frage nach der Stabilität von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen aufgeworfen. Die durchschnittliche Dauer der Betriebszugehörigkeit, Daten zur Arbeitskräfte-Fluktuation sowie das Ausmaß befristeter Beschäftigung werden für die Bewertung von Beschäftigungsstabilität herangezogen. Empirische Studien konnten bisher eine Abnahme der Beschäftigungsstabilität im Zeitverlauf nicht bestätigen - allenfalls punktuell und bei bestimmten Qualifikationsstufen.

Diese Infoplattform enthält Literaturhinweise und Volltexte zur theoretischen Einbettung und empirischen Analyse der Stabilität von Beschäftigung. Mit dem Filter „Autorenschaft“ können Sie auf IAB-(Mit-)Autorenschaft eingrenzen.

    Fertility and economic instability: the role of unemployment and job displacement (2015)

    Del Bono, Emilia, Andrea Weber & Rudolf Winter-Ebmer (2015): Fertility and economic instability: the role of unemployment and job displacement. In: Journal of population economics, Jg. 28, H. 2, S. 463-478. DOI:10.1007/s00148-014-0531-y

    Abstract

    "In this paper, we study the separate effects of unemployment and job displacement on fertility in a sample of white collar women in Austria. Using an instrumental variable approach, we show that unemployment incidence as such has no negative effect on fertility decisions, but the very fact of being displaced from a career-oriented job has. Fertility rates for women affected by a firm closure are significantly below those of a control group, even after 6 years, and this is so irrespective of the incidence or the duration of the associated unemployment spell."

    Ellonen, Noora & Jouko Nätti (2015): Job insecurity and the unemployment rate. Micro- and macro-level predictors of perceived job insecurity among Finnish employees 1984 - 2008. In: Economic and Industrial Democracy, Jg. 36, H. 1, S. 51-71. DOI:10.1177/0143831X13495720

    Abstract

    "In this article several micro-level determinants and the unemployment rate as macro-level determinant of perceived job insecurity are studied among Finnish employees from 1984 to 2008. The main questions are: Is the unemployment rate a significant macro-level determinant in different times, what is the most relevant unit for measuring unemployment - region or industry - , and does the effect of the micro- and macro-level determinants vary over time? The findings suggest that industry-related characteristics are more important than regional characteristics in explaining job insecurity. Perceived job insecurity is explained by micro-level determinants as well as unemployment rate as macro-level determinant. The effects, however, vary over time: the meaning of industry-related characteristics decreases and the meaning of individual-level characteristics increases." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit im Erwerbsverlauf: eine Sequenzmusteranalyse westdeutscher Paneldaten (2015)

    Erlinghagen, Marcel & Christiane Lübke (2015): Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit im Erwerbsverlauf. Eine Sequenzmusteranalyse westdeutscher Paneldaten. In: Zeitschrift für Soziologie, Jg. 44, H. 6, S. 407-425.

    Abstract

    "Dieser Beitrag zielt darauf ab, eine Form der subjektiven Erwerbsunsicherheit, nämlich die individuellen Sorgen um den Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes, zu untersuchen. Während es eine Vielzahl von Befunden zur Entwicklung objektiver Erwerbsverläufe gibt, beschränkt sich die bisherige Forschung zur subjektiven Erwerbsunsicherheit weitestgehend auf Querschnittanalysen. Deshalb ist auch kaum etwas darüber bekannt, wie häufig bzw. wie lange sich Arbeitnehmer Sorgen um ihre Beschäftigung machen. Dieser Beitrag möchte helfen, diese Lücke zu schließen, indem mithilfe einer Sequenzmusteranalyse der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) typische Unsicherheitsverläufe identifiziert und beschrieben werden. Dauerhaft große Sorgen, den Arbeitsplatz zu verlieren, erweisen sich als selten, jedoch berichtet fast jeder dritte Beschäftigte von chronischer Unsicherheit. Zudem zeigt sich, dass subjektive Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit nur z. T. mit objektiv prekären Beschäftigungsbedingungen einhergeht." (Autorenreferat, © De Gruyter)

    A steady job?: the UK's record on labour market security and stability since the millennium (2015)

    Gregg, Paul & Laura Gardiner (2015): A steady job? The UK's record on labour market security and stability since the millennium. (Resolution Foundation report), London, 33 S.

    Abstract

    "- Job stability - as measured by median employment tenure - has risen over the past two decades. This has been driven by more women returning to the same employer after having children, and older people staying in work for longer.
    - Job mobility - the rate at which people move between jobs - is falling. This may well signal possible progression and promotion blockages in the labour market, which could hinder the career prospects of young people and risks permanently scarring their earnings.
    - The report finds no evidence of rising job insecurity - a broader measure which includes an assessment of contract terms, pay and hours. However, there is evidence that a sizeable minority are facing particularly acute forms of precariousness. Insecurity appears to have deepened rather than broadened.
    - Finally, the overall picture on security and stability masks big differences between the genders and generations. For older workers and particularly women the trend has been towards more secure and stable employment; for young people things are moving in the wrong direction."

    Beschäftigungsstruktur und Zufriedenheit von Zeitarbeitnehmern in Deutschland (2015)

    Abstract

    "Auf Basis von Daten des Deutschen Sozio-Ökonomischen Panels der Jahre 2001 bis 2012 untersuchen wir Determinanten einer Zeitarbeitsbeschäftigung sowie möglicher Erklärungsansätze für Unterschiede in der Arbeits- und Lebenszufriedenheit zwischen Arbeitnehmern in Zeitarbeit im Vergleich zu Normalbeschäftigten und zu arbeitslosen Personen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass frühere Zeiten von Arbeitslosigkeit die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zeitarbeitsbeschäftigung deutlich steigern. Zudem führen Zeitarbeitnehmer eher Tätigkeiten aus, für die sie nicht passend qualifiziert sind. Die niedrigere Arbeitszufriedenheit von Zeitarbeitern im Vergleich zu Normalbeschäftigten lässt sich vor allem auf Unterschiede in individuellen Merkmalen und auf eine als deutlich stärker empfundene Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit zurückführen, während ihre Lebenszufriedenheit auch unter Berücksichtigung dieser Faktoren signifikant geringer ist. Jedoch äußern Zeitarbeitnehmer eine deutlich höhere Lebenszufriedenheit als arbeitslose Personen. Eine explizite Analyse der Übergänge zwischen den Beschäftigungsstatus bestätigt diese Ergebnisse" (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Görg, Holger & Dennis Görlich (2015): Offshoring, wages and job security of temporary workers. In: Review of world economics, Jg. 151, H. 3, S. 533-554. DOI:10.1007/s10290-015-0220-2

    Abstract

    "Temporary contracts have become an important mode of employment in many countries. We investigate the impact of offshoring on individual level wages and unemployment probabilities and pay particular attention to the question if workers with temporary contracts are affected differently than workers with permanent contracts. Data are taken from the German Socio-Economic Panel, linked with industry level data on offshoring. We do not find systematic differences between temporary and permanent workers with respect to the effects of offshoring for wages. We find, however, that offshoring increases the unemployment risk of low-skilled workers, and more so for temporary than permanent workers. Also, offshoring reduces the unemployment risk for all high- and medium-skilled workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Hirsch, Boris (2015): Dual labour markets at work. The impact of employers' use of temporary agency work on regular workers' job stability. (IZA discussion paper 8804), Bonn, 27 S.

    Abstract

    "Fitting duration models on an inflow sample of jobs in Germany starting in 2002-2010, this paper investigates the impact of employers' use of temporary agency work on regular workers' job stability. In line with dual labour market theory, I find that non-temp jobs are significantly more stable if employers utilise temps. The rise in job stability stems mainly from reduced transitions into non-employment suggesting that non-temp workers are safeguarded against involuntary job losses. My findings are robust to controlling for unobserved permanent employer characteristics and changes in the observational window that includes the labour market disruption of the Great Recession."

    Jara, H. Xavier (2015): The effect of job insecurity on labour supply. In: Australian Journal of Labour Economics, Jg. 18, H. 2, S. 187-204.

    Abstract

    "The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of job insecurity on labour supply. We propose a discrete choice model of labour supply, in which the choice alternatives are characterised by bundles of income, hours of work and job insecurity. The results show that job insecurity has a negative and significant effect on individuals' utility. Moreover, once job insecurity is included in the discrete choice alternatives, the predictive power of the model improves significantly. Labour supply elasticities are significantly higher than those obtained with a traditional model and increase with the level of job insecurity. Finally, a decrease of job insecurity at work has a positive and significant effect on participation. Policies aimed at improving working conditions could, in this sense, be useful to create incentives in labour market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Nagore, Amparo García & Arthur van Soest (2015): New job matches and their stability before and during the crisis. (IZA discussion paper 9574), Bonn, 38 S.

    Abstract

    "Using administrative records data from the Spanish Social Security Administration, we analyse the nature and stability of job matches starting in two different years: during the economic boom in 2005, and during the recession in 2009. We compare the individual and job and firm characteristics in the two samples and estimate Mixed Proportional Hazard Models distinguishing job-to-job, job-to-unemployment, and other transitions. We find that job-to-job transitions are pro-cyclical, while unemployment transitions are counter-cyclical. Individuals most affected by the economic crisis tend to be young males, living in regions with high unemployment rates, with low qualifications and working in manual occupations (particularly construction), and (especially Spanish speaking) immigrants. The positive relation between job stability and firm size is stronger during the recession." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Feelings of dual-insecurity among European workers: a multi-level analysis (2015)

    Abstract

    "This article analyses European Social Survey data for 22 countries. We assess the relationship between feelings of employment and income insecurity (dual-insecurity) among workers and national flexicurity policies in the areas of lifelong learning, active labour market policy, modern social security systems and flexible and reliable contractual arrangements. We find that dualinsecurity feelings are lower in countries that score better on most flexicurity polices, but these effects are in all cases outweighed by levels of GDP per capita. Thus feelings of insecurity are reduced more by the affluence of a country than by its social policies. However, affluence is strongly correlated with the policy efforts designed to reduce insecurity, especially active labour market policies and lifelong learning, two policy areas that are threatened with cuts as a result of austerity."

    Abstract

    "Ich untersuche die Beschäftigungsverläufe von deutschen Ausbildungsabsolventen, wie sich frühe Beschäftigungsstabilität auf spätere Löhne auswirkt, und wie sich dieser Zusammenhang seit den späten 1970er Jahren verändert hat. In den Daten zeigt sich seit den späten 1980er Jahren ein Rückgang der Stabilität von Beschäftigung innerhalb der frühen Erwerbsphase. Indem ich zeitliche Abweichungen im Wirken von makroökonomischen Schocks zur Identifikation von wahrer Zustandsabhängigkeit nutze, finde ich, dass stabile Beschäftigung in einer frühen Phase des Erwerbslebens signifikant positive Lohneffekte nach sich zieht. Diese Renditen sind besonders im unteren Bereich der Verteilung zukünftiger Löhne ausgeprägt, und haben während den 1990er Jahren inbesondere in diesem Bereich merklich zugenommen. Demzufolge würde eine Absicherung des Übergangs von Ausbildung in den Arbeitsmarkt das spätere Lohnwachstum insbesondere von Personen mit einem geringen Lohnpotential fördern."

    Is job insecurity compensated for by employment and income security? (2014)

    Berglund, Tomas, Bengt Furåker & Patrik Vulkan (2014): Is job insecurity compensated for by employment and income security? In: Economic and Industrial Democracy, Jg. 35, H. 1, S. 165-184. DOI:10.1177/0143831X12468904

    Abstract

    "The so-called flexicurity approach suggests that security for employees can be successfully combined with flexibility for organizations and companies. This article studies if affective job insecurity (worry about losing one's job) is compensated for by perceptions of employment security (possibilities of finding an equal or better job) and income security. Data derive from a survey carried out in 2010 among employees in Sweden. The main findings are that cognitive job insecurity (the perceived risk of job loss) increases affective job insecurity, whereas both employment and income security have the opposite effect. Moreover, cognitive job insecurity and employment security interact, implying that the effect of cognitive job insecurity on affective job insecurity is reduced in the presence of employment security but is reinforced in the absence of it. These results are discussed in relation to the flexicurity approach, concluding that flexicurity may be a risky venture for employees." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This article examines the determinants of perceived job security in German standard employment relationships (SER). Although SERs still dominate and shape the labour market, they have undergone several modifications in the recent past. Using survey data from 2006, the article examines how work organizations and particularly multiple workplace demands influence the perceived job security of employees in SERs. The article also asks whether - 20 years after reunification - structural and cultural differences still exist between East and West Germany. The results show that employees in East German SERs are more willing to accept flexibility and performance requirements. The article suggests that a new psychological contract has emerged, which promises long-term employment only if employees eventually meet the new workplace demands. Yet the overall lower job security of East Germans, fuelled by lower trust in their employers' information policies, indicates the fragile nature of this arrangement."

    Does job insecurity deteriorate health?: a causal approach for Europe (2014)

    Caroli, Eve & Mathilde Godard (2014): Does job insecurity deteriorate health? A causal approach for Europe. (IZA discussion paper 8299), Bonn, 38 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper estimates the causal effect of perceived job insecurity - i.e. the fear of involuntary job loss - on health in a sample of men from 22 European countries. We rely on an original instrumental variable approach based on the idea that workers perceive greater job security in countries where employment is strongly protected by the law, and relatively more so if employed in industries where employment protection legislation is more binding, i.e. in industries with a higher natural rate of dismissals. Using cross-country data from the 2010 European Working Conditions Survey, we show that when the potential endogeneity of job insecurity is not accounted for, the latter appears to deteriorate almost all health outcomes. When tackling the endogeneity issue by estimating an IV model and dealing with potential weak-instrument issues, the health-damaging effect of job insecurity is confirmed for a limited subgroup of health outcomes, namely suffering from headaches or eyestrain and skin problems. As for other health variables, the impact of job insecurity appears to be insignificant at conventional levels." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Employment insecurity and life satisfaction: The moderating influence of labour market policies across Europe (2014)

    Abstract

    "This article tests whether the link between employment insecurity and life satisfaction is moderated by the generosity of labour market policies across Europe. Employment insecurity provokes anxieties about (a) the difficulties of finding a new job and (b) alternative sources of non-work income. These components can be related to active and passive labour market policies, respectively. Generous policy support is thus expected to buffer the negative consequences of employment insecurity by lowering the perceived difficulty of finding a similar job or providing income maintenance during unemployment. Based on data for 22 countries from the 2010 European Social Survey, initial support for this hypothesis is found. Perceived employment insecurity is negatively associated with life satisfaction but the strength of the relationship is inversely related to the generosity of labour market policies. Employment insecurity, in other words, is more harmful in countries where labour market policies are less generous." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Criscuolo, Chiara, Peter N. Gal & Carlo Menon (2014): The dynamics of employment growth. New evidence from 18 countries. (OECD science, technology and industry policy papers 14), Paris, 96 S. DOI:10.1787/5jz417hj6hg6-en

    Abstract

    "Motivated by the ongoing interest of policy makers in the sources of job creation, this paper presents results from a new OECD project on the dynamics of employment (DynEmp) based on an innovative methodology using firm-level data (i.e. national business registers or similar sources). It demonstrates that among small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), young firms play a central role in creating jobs, whereas old SMEs tend to destroy jobs. This pattern holds robustly across 17 OECD countries and Brazil, extending recent evidence found in the United States. The paper also shows that young firms are always net job creators throughout the business cycle, even during the financial crisis. During the crisis, entry and post-entry growth by young firms were affected most heavily, although downsizing by old firms was responsible for most job losses. The results also highlight large cross-country differences in the growth potential of young firms, pointing to the role played by national policies in enabling successful firms to create jobs."

    Abstract

    "Die Lebensverlaufsforschung betont die Bedeutung individueller Faktoren sowie des endogenen Kausalzusammenhangs für den Erwerbsverlauf. Demnach bestimmt insbesondere der Einstieg in die Erwerbsphase zukünftige Chancen und Risiken im Erwerbsleben. Allerdings ist zu berücksichtigen, dass Arbeitskräfte innerhalb spezifischer Rahmenbedingungen agieren. So werden deren Erwerbsverläufe durch betriebliche Gelegenheitsstrukturen geprägt. Zudem handeln Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber in unterschiedlich strukturierten Regionen. Schließlich sind auch konjunkturelle Einflüsse zu beachten. Deshalb richtet der vorliegende Artikel den Fokus auf die Untersuchung struktureller Einflussfaktoren. Um strukturelle und konjunkturelle Determinanten abbilden zu können, wurde ein Linked Employer-Employee Datensatz des IAB und Daten zu regionalen Charakteristika auf Ebene der Raumordnungsregionen verknüpft. Die Auswertung der hierarchisch geclusterten Daten wurde anhand von Mehrebenenmodellen durchgeführt. Zunächst wurden die Einflussfaktoren auf die Beschäftigungsstabilität und danach die Determinanten von Aufstiegen, lateraler Mobilität und Abstiegen bei direkten Betriebswechseln sowie von Übergängen in Arbeitslosigkeit erforscht. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die zweifellos vorhandenen endogenen Kausalzusammenhänge im Erwerbsverlauf dann an Bedeutung verlieren, wenn Beschäftigte sich strukturelle Einflussfaktoren zunutze machen können: Demnach wirken betriebliche Investitionstätigkeiten in Weiterbildung sowie in die Infrastruktur positiv auf Erwerbsverläufe. Betriebsräte und Personalvertretungen erhöhen vor allem in einer guten konjunkturellen Situation die Beschäftigungsstabilität. Hingegen können eine ungünstige Organisationsdemografie sowie die intensive Nutzung von Befristungen zur Destabilisierung des Erwerbsverlaufs führen. In einer konjunkturellen Abschwungphase bieten dichter besiedelte Räume bessere Beschäftigungsoptionen, während in ländlichen Gegenden Beschäftigungs- und Arbeitslosigkeitsrisiken herrschen. Von einer hohen regionalen Humankapitalausstattung profitieren im Aufschwung alle Qualifikationsgruppen, während im Abschwung eine Segregation bezüglich der Qualifikationsgruppen zu beobachten ist."

    Abstract

    "Growing employment insecurity has stimulated much research in social science, most of which describes the characteristics of insecure employment and investigates the career consequences for individuals. However, the consequences of insecure employment are moderated by the household context. Relatively little is known about the accumulation or compensation of insecure labour situation on the household level. We investigate if the household/family is able to compensate for market risks, most importantly unemployment or unstable employment, cushioning negative effects through a partner providing a stable income, or whether instead patterns of risk accumulation prevail. We use EU labour force surveys from 1992 to 2010 for six European countries, analysing the household employment situations, the partner's effect on an individual's employment situation, and possible mechanisms behind this. Evidence is provided for accumulation of risks in all six countries." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Americans are convinced that employment stability has declined in recent decades, but previous research on this question has led to mixed conclusions. A key challenge is that trends for men and women are in opposite directions and appear to cancel each other out. We clarify this situation by examining trends in employer tenure by sex, marital status, and parental status. We find that married mothers are behind the increase in women's job tenure, but men and never-married women have seen declines in tenure. Furthermore, we show that the timing of tenure trends for women parallels periods of increased labor force attachment. Finally, we find that shifts in industry and occupation composition can account for the decline in tenure among men and never-married women before 1996 but not afterward. We situate these diverging trends in two broad shifts in expectations, norms, and behaviors in the labor market: the end-of-work discourse and the revolution in women's identification with paid work. Our findings support the view that job tenure is declining for all groups, but women's greater labor force attachment, especially their more continuous employment around childbirth, countered and masked this trend."

    Abstract

    "Mit den Hartz-Reformen wurden umfassende Veränderungen der Institutionen des Arbeitsmarkts durchgeführt. Sie setzten sowohl an der Angebots- als auch auf der Nachfrageseite an, um den Arbeitsmarkt flexibler und aufnahmefähiger zu machen. Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand der Entlohnung von Vollzeitbeschäftigten und der Beschäftigungsdauer, inwieweit sich die Qualität neu begonnener Beschäftigungsverhältnisse im Anschluss an eine Arbeitslosigkeit im Zeitraum von 1998 bis 2009/2010 in Westdeutschland verändert hat. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen bei zuvor Arbeitslosen wie bei neu Beschäftigten insgesamt einen deutlichen Rückgang der Reallöhne im Zeitablauf. Die Beschäftigungsdauern blieben während und nach den Hartz-Reformen weitgehend stabil. Zuvor Arbeitslose nehmen Beschäftigungen mit geringerer Entlohnung und kürzeren Beschäftigungsdauern an. Mit zunehmender Dauer der vorhergehenden Arbeitslosigkeit werden tendenziell noch schlechter bezahlte und bei Männern auch instabilere Beschäftigungen aufgenommen. In einzelnen Perioden des Untersuchungszeitraums lässt sich insbesondere für zuvor Langzeitarbeitslose eine weitere Verschlechterung der Qualität der neuen Beschäftigung feststellen."
