本研究分析了低技能员工参与雇主提供的培训，并探讨了鼓励低技能员工参与培训的机制。基于人力资本理论和基于任务的方法，我们试图证明工作任务在解释低技能员工在雇主提供的继续培训中的不同参与水平方面发挥了重要作用。实证分析基于对德国企业的新调查数据。为了检验工作任务对低技能员工参与雇主提供的培训的影响，我们运行了控制其他解释变量的多元回归模型。我们的分析结果证实，工作任务与低技能员工参与率的变化有关，从而得出结论，工作任务之间的差异影响雇主对低技能员工培训的投资意愿。
This study analyses the participation of low-skilled employees in employer-provided training and examines the mechanisms that encourage the training participation of low-skilled employees. Building on theoretical considerations of human capital theory and the task-based approach, we seek to show that job tasks play an important role in explaining different participation levels of low-skilled employees in employer-provided continuing training. The empirical analyses are based on data from the new survey on establishments in Germany. To test the influence of job tasks on participation of low-skilled employees in employer-provided training, we run multivariate regression models that control for other explanatory variables. The results of our analysis confirm that job tasks are relevant to changes in the participation rates of low-skilled employees, which leads to the conclusion that differences between job tasks affect employers’ willingness to invest in training for their low-skilled staff.
