Which people end up in which jobs is not merely a matter of the individual and human capital characteristics of workers and the requirements and rewards of jobs, but is also a function of the process by which persons and jobs are matched with one another (Granovetter 1981; Sørensen and Kalleberg 1981). A poorly understood component of the matching process is how workers and employers find infor...

this paper provides an empirical investigation on individual labour supply of iranian spouses in an intra-household collective decision framework in which gender ratio plays a central role in the household’s resources allocation. the data set is taken from the socioeconomic characteristics of panel survey over the period 2001-2004 and ten yearly headcount of iran. we have conducted the paramete...

In this study, we examine how the age of service employees influences the emotional labor process. We integrate research on socioemotional selectivity theory and emotional labor to develop hypotheses concerning the relationships between age and specific emotional labor strategies (deep acting, surface acting, and expressing naturally-felt emotions). Consistent with our expectations, we found th...

Retirement-related concepts are treated as random variables within Markov process models that capture multiple labor force entries and exits. The expected number of years spent outside of the labor force, expected years in retirement, and expected age at retirement are computed-all of which are of immense policy interest but have been heretofore reported with less precisely measured proxies. Ex...

The shift from state-led ISI to more market-oriented economic models often has the result of shrinking and demobilizing the labor movement. Yet, evidence from Argentina suggests that a subsequent resurgence of even a down-sized labor movement may occur and furthermore that “neocorporatist” patterns may be established in the new economic context. We examine the recent resurgence of the Argentine...

Marx conceives of labor as form-giving activity. This is criticized for presupposing a “productivist” model of labor which regards work that creates a material product — craft or industrial work — as the paradigm for all work (Habermas, Benton, Arendt). Many traditional kinds of work do not seem to fit this picture, and new “immaterial” forms of labor (computer work, service work, etc.) have de...

A novel data-analysis tool incorporated with an interactive visualization and an automatic clustering was developed. The tool specializes in variance analysis, especially in handling a large volume of clinical-process data from plural patients. The interactive visualization enables users to identify outliers and variance to improve clinical process and homogeneous processes to develop critical ...
