Training and commitment in a German manufacturing company during the post-2008 crisis: a case of internal flexicurity
研究了2008年金融危机后一家德国制造企业为蓝领工人提供培训与组织承诺的关系，发现只有工作技能和可迁移技能培训与承诺正相关，提示培训可能有助于实现内部灵活保障。
Studies on the links between training and organizational commitment have only looked at professional and managerial workers, mostly in the U.S. This paper focuses on a German manufacturing company that employed many blue-collar workers and offered generous training opportunities during short-time work in the post-2008 crisis. In an analysis based on employee survey data, only training in job-specific skills and training in skills usable outside of work were found to be associated positively with organizational commitment. The findings suggest that employer-provided training programs may be part of a model that achieves internal flexicurity in economies such as Germany.
