先前关于工作场所构成的研究并未解决非标准员工的比例如何影响员工个人的机会和福祉。此外，现有的研究通常假设一个群体的数字代表性的影响是通过该群体在机构内的相对权力和地位来调节的。这项研究询问当每个社会群体的规模对其相对地位影响不大时，工作场所的构成是否重要。具体来说，我研究了日本工作场所中非标准员工和女性比例的经济和心理后果，这两个群体通常都是次要工人，无论其相对规模如何，都缺乏权力。结果表明，在非标准雇员比例适中的企业中工作可以提高个人的工资和晋升的可能性，但在非标准雇员比例较高的企业中工作则有害。相反，工作场所中非标准员工的比例越大，所有员工遭受心理困扰的可能性就越大。工作场所性别构成也与日本工人报告的晋升机会和生活满意度有关，但与就业状况构成相比，它与工人成果的相关性较小。这一分析强调了考虑工作场所人口统计的必要性，即使不同社会群体之间的权力和地位差距随着每个群体在企业中所占的份额而变化不大。此外，研究结果表明，非标准工作安排增加的全球趋势对工人之间的差异产生的影响比之前的研究所暗示的更广泛。
Previous research on workplace composition has not addressed how the share of nonstandard employees affects individual workers' opportunities and well-being. Moreover, existing studies generally assume that the effect of a group's numerical representation is mediated through the group's relative power and status within establishments. This study asks whether workplace composition matters when the size of each social group has little impact on its relative status. Specifically, I examine the economic and psychological consequences of the proportions of nonstandard employees and women in Japanese workplaces, where both groups are typically secondary workers who lack power regardless of their relative size. The results indicate that working in establishments with modest proportions of nonstandard employees enhances individuals' wages and likelihood of promotion, but working in those with higher proportions is detrimental. Conversely, the greater the share of nonstandard employees in a workplace, the more likely all workers are to suffer psychologically. Workplace gender composition is also linked to Japanese workers' reported chances of promotion and life satisfaction, but it is relevant to fewer worker outcomes than employment-status composition. This analysis underscores the need to consider workplace demography, even if the power and status gaps between different social groups vary little with each group's share within establishments. In addition, the findings suggest that the global trend of increasing nonstandard work arrangements has a more extensive impact on disparities among workers than prior research implies.
