abstract: 'Purpose - Up to date, it remains an unresolved issue how firms shape
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in interaction with mechanisms of stratification at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual and occupational-level. Accordingly, the authors ask whether
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers of different occupational classes are affected to different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
degrees by between-firm wage inequality. In light of the recent rise of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
overall wage inequality, answers to this question can contribute to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better understanding of the role firms play in this development. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
authors argue and empirically test that whether workers are able to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit from firms'' internal or external strategies for flexibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
depends on resources available at the individual and occupational level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The paper aims to discuss these issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach - Matched employer-employee data from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
official German labour market statistics are used to estimate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
firm-specific wage components, which are then regressed on structural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics of firms.

|
Findings - Between-firm wage effects of internal labour markets are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
largest among unskilled workers and strongly pronounced among qualified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
manual workers. Effects are clearly smaller among classes of qualified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and high-qualified non-manual workers but have risen sharply for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
latter class from 2005 to 2010.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Social implications - The most disadvantaged workers in the labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market are also most contingent upon employers'' increasingly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
heterogeneous policies of recruitment and remuneration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originality/value - This paper combines insights from sociological and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic labour market research in order to formulate and test the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hypothesis that between-firm wage effects of internal labour markets are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
larger for unskilled than for qualified workers.'
