Industrial Organization, Economic Conditions, and the Labor Market Success of Young Men: An Overview and Extension Social Science Research 11,3 (September 1982): 201-226.

Keyword(s): Business Cycles; Capital Sector; Industrial Sector; Job Tenure; Job Turnover; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Unemployment; Unions; Wages The relationship between workplace organization and socioeconomic attainments of workers, although an issue of some currency in contemporary stratification research, is complex and as yet not well understood. In contrast to dual economic theory, this paper attempts to sort out the separate effects of various components of the social organization of production (e.g., profitability, capital intensity, market power, unionization) on job rewards. Moreover, various considerations suggest that these structural effects vary with business cycle activity. Accordingly, one of the research aims is to examine the extent to which various dimensions of organizational structure serve to differentially insulate workers from wage stagnation as economic conditions deteriorate. Finally, because firms may devise different institutional responses to declining product demand, these structural effects on both wage rates and unemployment propensities are examined. |
