The Effect of Workplace Education on Earnings, Turnover, and Job Performance
研究两家公司(制造业和服务业)的工作场所教育项目对收入、离职率、绩效奖励、出勤率等的影响,发现制造业公司有小的正向收入效应,服务业不显著,培训与晋升、绩效奖励和出勤率正相关。
This article examines the impact of a workplace education program at two companies--one in the manufacturing sector and the other in the service sector. The authors examine a broad range of outcome variables, including earnings, turnover, performance awards, job attendance, and subjective performance measures. They estimate a small, positive impact of the program on earnings at the manufacturing company but an insignificant impact at the service company. Trainees were equally likely to exit the company as nontrainees. The authors also find that the training had a positive association with the incidence of job bids, upgrades, performance awards, and job attendance. Copyright 1998 by University of Chicago Press.
