abstract: 'Occupational heterogeneity in non-standard employment is an important
|
|
|
|
and policy-relevant topic of investigation, and one which has not
|
|
|
|
received sufficient attention. The main thesis of this article is that
|
|
|
|
the function of fixed-term contracts, which in turn affects the
|
|
|
|
situation and career prospects of employees, is dependent on occupation.
|
|
|
|
Using data from European Survey of Income and Living Conditions,
|
|
|
|
2005-2008, I investigate the heterogeneities among fixed-term employees
|
|
|
|
in various occupational categories in Poland, by analysing differences
|
|
|
|
in (i) the demographic and socio-economic composition of temporary
|
|
|
|
workers, (ii) the size of the wage penalty for fixed-term employment,
|
|
|
|
and (iii) the chances of transition from fixed-term into open-ended
|
|
|
|
employment. The results suggest that in managerial and professional
|
|
|
|
occupations temporary contracts are more likely to be used during trial
|
|
|
|
periods for newly hired workers and may serve as stepping stones to
|
|
|
|
stable jobs, as reflected by the higher rates of mobility into
|
|
|
|
open-ended employment. Temporary jobs in low-status service and manual
|
|
|
|
occupations appear to result mainly from employers'' attempts to
|
|
|
|
facilitate worker dismissal rather than their need to verify the skills
|
|
|
|
of new employees, and are more likely to become a dead end for workers.
|
|
|
|
However, although fixed-term workers in higher-status occupations seem
|
|
|
|
to be better off than their counterparts in services, trade, and manual
|
|
|
|
labour, the evidence does not support the claim that the former resemble
|
|
|
|
the so-called `boundaryless'' employees, who suffer no negative
|
|
|
|
consequences of their fixed-term status.'
