本文借鉴技术变革和制度理论，研究了 1995 年至 2010 年欧洲职业和制度体系之间工作自由裁量权的趋同和分歧。来自欧洲工作条件调查的伪面板数据集的潜在增长模型表明，显着不同的变化率导致职业之间以及北欧和其他欧洲国家之间的工作自由裁量权日益两极分化。在各个职业中，研究结果与偏向常规的技术变革而不是偏向技能的技术变革理论一致，并表明技术变革对工作自由裁量权的影响在很大程度上取决于技术是否替代或补充工作任务。在各国，结果与就业制度理论一致，该理论表明制度差异（特别是就业政策和工会影响力）正在推动工作自由裁量权的跨国差异。总体而言，对影响工作质量关键方面（即工作自由裁量权）变化的因素提供了更全面的实证和理论理解。
Drawing on technical change and institutional theories, this paper examines the convergence and divergence of job discretion between occupations and institutional regimes in Europe from 1995-2010. Latent growth modelling of a pseudo-panel data set derived from the European Working Conditions Survey reveals that significantly different rates of change have led to an increasing polarization of job discretion between occupations and between Nordic and other European countries. Across occupations the findings are in keeping with routine-biased technical change rather than skill-biased technical change theories and suggest that the effects of technical change on job discretion depend largely on whether technology substitutes or complements job tasks. Across countries, the results are in line with employment regime theory, which suggests that institutional differences (particularly employment policies and trade union influence) are driving cross-national variation in job discretion. Overall, a more comprehensive empirical and theoretical understanding is provided of factors shaping change in a key aspect of job quality, namely job discretion.
