Doctoral Dissertation Research: Pathways to Mobility within Internal Labor Markets

这是一个奖项下的赠款为改善博士论文研究计划。 本研究将探讨的途径，以促进在一个单一的，大型多层次的公司的数据，从1975年和1985年之间雇用的员工的工作历史。 它试图回答这样一个问题：为什么开始时看起来有同样职业机会的人最终往往会在不同的职位上。 这个问题既有现实意义，又植根于组织理论文献。 职业数据的分析将测试多种职业轨迹的统计模型，因为这些模型适用于公司内部。 %%% 这项研究有助于从社会学角度理解职业流动性和企业内部可能出现的平等晋升障碍。 除了通过研究取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将在物质上帮助一位非常有前途的学生完成博士研究。论文 因此，它有助于国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的全面培训。

This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. This study will examine the pathways to promotion within a single, large multi-level firm with data from job histories of employees hired between 1975 and 1985. It seeks to answer the question of why individuals who begin with what look like the same career chances often end up in different positions. This question is both of practical significance and is rooted in the theoretical literature on organizations. Analysis of career data will test statistical models of multiple career trajectories as these apply within firms. %%% This research contributes to sociological understanding of career mobility and the barriers to equality of advancement that may develop within firms. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists.
