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.'
