This study explores the impact of both individual and gain-sharing incentives on the overall job satisfaction of workers in the UK, as well as their satisfaction with various facets of jobs, namely total pay, job security, and the actual work itself. Using data from six waves (1998-2003) of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), and after correcting for the sorting problem that arises, no significant difference in overall job utility is found between those receiving performance-related pay (PRP) and those on other methods of compensation. In addition, non-economic arguments that PRP crowds-out the intrinsic satisfaction of jobs are also not supported, as are popular concerns regarding the adverse impact of PRP schemes on job security. An important asymmetry in the manner in which individual and gain-sharing incentives affect the utility of employees is nonetheless unearthed, as the latter are consistently found to have a positive effect on employee well-being.Item Corporate Governance, Risk Appetite and Cloud Security Risk : A Little Known Paradox.

First, it synthesizes the available theoretical frameworks used by economists and psychologists to understand the issues related to the optimal provision of OSH in the labour market. Second, it reviews the academic literature investigating the correlates of a comprehensive set of OSH indicators, which portray the state of OSH infrastructure (social security expenditure, prevention, regulations), inputs (chemical and physical agents, ergonomics, working time, violence) and outcomes (injuries, illnesses, absenteeism, job satisfaction) within workplaces. Third, it explores the implications of the lack of OSH in terms of the economic and social costs that are entailed. Finally, the survey identifies areas of future research interests and suggests priorities for policy initiatives that can improve the health and safety of workers.Item Measuring adaptation to non-permanent employment contracts using a conjoint analysis approach(2007) Pouliakas, Kostas; Theodossiou, IoannisThis study attempts to uncover the ‘real’ impact of temporary contracts on workers’ perceived job quality, prior to the psychological phenomena of adaptation, coping and cognitive dissonance coming into play. This is done by using a novel conjoint analysis approach that examines the ex ante preferences over different contract statuses of a newly generated sample of low-skilled employees from seven European countries. Other things equal, it is shown that the anticipated psychological ‘costs’ of moving from a riskless permanent contract to the insecurity of a temporary job or no work at all appear to be quite significant. In contrast, temporary employees, who have presumably already adapted to the circumstances surrounding a non-permanent contract, are found to be statistically indifferent between permanent and temporary employment, and request much smaller wage premiums in order to switch from one status to the other. The well-documented distress associated with joblessness is also confirmed in our data. The methodology developed here can provide policymakers with an alternative and relatively inexpensive method of quantifying the immediate impact of any shift in their employment policies.Item Modeling Space Market Dynamics : An Illustration Using Panel Data for US Retail(2013-11) Hendershott, Patric Henry; Jennen, Maarten; MacGregor, Bryan Duncan; University of Aberdeen.Real Estate; University of Aberdeen.Vice PrincipalsItem No Way to Say No : Stakeholder analysis for compulsory purchase for public infrastructure project in Australia(2018) Rao, Jyoti; Tiwari, Piyush; Hutchison, Norman Elliott; University of Aberdeen.Real EstateItem Renting versus Owning and the Role of Human Capital : Evidence from Germany(2014-05) Schulz, Rainer; Wersing, Martin; Werwatz, Axel; University of Aberdeen.Real EstateItem The revival of East Berlin’s land market after the German reunification(2018-12) Schulz, Rainer; Wersing, Martin; University of Aberdeen.Real Estate
