Microeconometoric Analysis on Shop Floor Level Productivity

我们考虑了对工作培训的需求及其与组织的互动，通过团队内的轮换和团队间的调动来应对生产力冲击。分析包括对在职培训的决定因素的估计，以及培训是否有助于提高个人生产率。我们采用了来自两家日本汽车制造商的原始装配商调查数据。还包括分区工头的特点和工作场所的做法，以调查它们对个体装配工寻求工作培训和提高生产率的激励作用。

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.
