Microeconometoric Analysis on Shop Floor Level Productivity

我们认为，工作培训的需求，并通过在一个团队内的轮换和跨团队搬迁，以应对生产力冲击与组织变革的相互作用。分析包括估计在职培训的决定因素，以及培训是否有助于提高个人生产力。我们采用了两家日本汽车制造商的原始装配调查数据。部门工头和工作场所的做法的特点也包括调查其对个体装配工寻求工作培训和生产力提高的激励的影响。

We consider the demand for job training and its interaction with organization change through rotation within a team and relocation across teams in response to productivity shocks. The analysis includes the estimation of the determinant of on-the-job training and whether training contributes to improvements in individual productivity. We employ original assembler survey data from two Japanese automobile makers. The characteristics of divisional foremen and workplace practices are also included to investigate their effects on the incentives for individual assemblers to seek job training and productivity improvements.
