The intensification of work in Europe: A multilevel analysis
利用欧洲工作条件调查数据,研究发现经济危机后工作强度加剧,但劳动法规和集体谈判制度能限制这种加剧,不过对临时工的影响相反。
Abstract Using the most recent two waves of the European Working Conditions Survey (2010 and 2015) in a multilevel setting, the paper argues that national institutions have a significant effect on shifts in work intensity. We find that work has intensified in the aftermath of the economic crisis, but that intensification is restricted by labour market regulation and collective bargaining institutions. However, the effect of working time regulations varies across employment groups, with intensity levels for temporary agency workers increasing as regulations become more stringent. Furthermore, higher levels of unemployment intensify work for agency workers but not for workers on a fixed‐term contract relative to workers on a permanent contract.
