Studie über Wohlfahrtsstaat und Arbeitszufriedenheit

Ach hätte der Co-CEO und gescheiterte Akademiker Heini Alt von der teutonischen BA nur ein wenig Ehrgeiz so dann und wann mal halbwegs intelligent daher zu schleichen auf Twitter oder in sonstigen Gefilden der kryptischen Diktion, dann würde er über den spröden Tellerrand der Ergüsse seines mit Steuergelder finanzierten IAB hinaus schielen und vielleicht die geneigte Menschheit mit interessanten und vor allen Dingen ökonomisch durchdachten, und nicht wie bei der IAB geschwanzgelutschten, Vorschlägen und Studien beglücken.

The bigger the worse? A comparative study of the welfare state and employment commitment

Abstract

This article investigates how welfare generosity and active labour market policies relate to employment commitment. As social policy is increasingly directed towards stimulating employment in broader sections of society, this article particularly studies employment commitment among groups with traditionally weaker bonds to the labour market. This is also theoretically interesting because the employment commitment in these groups may be more affected by the welfare context than is the employment commitment of the core work force. A welfare scepticism view predicts that disincentive effects and norm erosion will lead to lower employment commitment in more generous and activating welfare states, while a welfare resources perspective holds the opposite view. Using multilevel data for individuals in 18 European countries, the article finds increasing employment commitment as social spending gets more generous and activating. This was also evident for weaker groups in the labour market, although the effect was less pronounced in some groups.

Exzerpt:

The study found that the social democratic welfare state regime, repre- sented by Sweden and Finland, had higher scores on intrinsic work goals than Germany, Great Britain and Spain.

 They found losses in employment commitment at ages 43–54 in early exit cultures (Denmark and Germany) and no losses in late exit cultures (Norway and Sweden).

 

Furthermore, the analyses do not support the hypotheses that ethnic minorities may be particularly prone to be embedded in cultures of dependency

Studies of employment commitment among immigrants or ethnic minorities or among people reporting poor health are rare, despite the fact that employment participation and motivation in these groups are often debated and addressed in social policy discussions
