Wages, Nonwage Job Characteristics, and Labor Mobility Industrial and Labor Relations Review 35,4 (July 1982): 578-589. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522669 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Mobility; Mobility, Labor Market; Quality of Employment Survey (QES); Quits; Wages; Working Conditions The effects of a set of nonwage job attributes on the quit decisions of young and middle-aged men are examined. The data set was constructed by merging data in the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young and Mature Men with data from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles file and the Bureau of Economic Analysis file on fringe benefits. The empirical analysis demonstrates that some nonwage job attributes have significant influence on worker quit behavior and that there are important differences in the impact of the nonwage job attributes across age groups. Young men are significantly more likely than older men to quit repetitious jobs, for example, whereas the presence of bad working conditions is a more important element in the quit decisions of the older cohort. The results also indicate that, for the older men, fringe benefits have a stronger impact on quit decisions than wages do. Further evidence on age differences is furnished through an analysis of panel data from the Quality of Employment Survey. (ABI/Inform) |
