Human resources in a company are all individuals, from subordinates to superiors, who work and become members of the company. Humans are the driving force of every work process within the company. No matter how sophisticated a tool or machine is used in a business process, it is necessary for humans to operate it and control it to work as desired, therefore human resources cannot be replaced by other resources and are one of the factors that determine the success or failure of an organization or company to achieve its goals. (Nopiani: 2014). Based on this, many companies are trying to improve the performance of human resources so that employees can carry out their work activities better and optimally.
一个公司的人力资源是所有的个人,从下属到上级,他们工作并成为公司的一员。人是公司内部每一个工作流程的驱动力。无论在业务流程中使用多么复杂的工具或机器,都需要人类来操作和控制它,使其按预期工作,因此人力资源不能被其他资源所取代,是决定组织或公司实现其目标的成功或失败的因素之一。(Nopiani: 2014)。基于此,许多公司都在努力提高人力资源的绩效,使员工能够更好、最优地开展工作活动。

The Impact of Financial Openness on the Earnings of Self-employed Workers - An Empirical Evidence from a Panel Dataset 财务开放度对个体经营者收入的影响——来自面板数据集的经验证据
Pub Date : 2020-08-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3914375

This paper contributes to the literature on the effect of financial openness by investigating the factors and determinants which drive the income share to self-employed labor during financial liberalization. The question of the precise impact of liberalization on the share of the self-employed has received less attention in the literature. The authors use a de jure or a rule-based indicator as a measure of capital account openness. The empirical work is applied for a panel dataset of 30 countries during the period of 1970 - 2015. The results from all specifications support the hypothesis that financial integration leads to an increase in the unemployment rate as well as in the income share of self-employed. Nevertheless, the positive relation between financial openness and self-employed income is not evident when we focus solely on developed countries.
本文通过研究金融自由化过程中影响个体劳动者收入份额的因素和决定因素,对金融开放影响的文献进行了贡献。自由化对个体经营者所占比例的确切影响的问题在文献中受到的关注较少。作者使用法律或基于规则的指标作为衡量资本账户开放程度的指标。实证工作应用于1970 - 2015年期间30个国家的面板数据集。所有指标的结果都支持金融一体化导致失业率上升以及个体户收入份额上升的假设。然而,当我们只关注发达国家时,金融开放与个体收入之间的正相关关系并不明显。

The Contrasting Effects of Ethnic, Cultural and Immigrant Diversity on Entrepreneurship and Job Creation 种族、文化和移民多样性对创业和就业创造的对比效应
Pub Date : 2020-04-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3591969

This paper is the first one to examine empirically whether ethnic, cultural and immigrant population diversity within countries is favourable for entrepreneurship and job creation. Building on existing, yet disjointed theories on diversity, the paper provides insights as to why different types of diversity may have different effects on entrepreneurship. We test our predictions using multilevel modelling and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor survey of over 1.5 million people across 88 countries. We find that diversity boosts the number of start-ups and new businesses. Also, businesses hire more employees in countries that have a higher population share of skilled or unskilled immigrants due to skill complementarity. However, businesses are more likely to close down in countries with higher cultural or immigration diversity, likely due to market fragmentation. Our results show that small changes in diversity lead to significant changes in the probability of business survival and job creation. These results have important policy implications for countries seeking to toughen their immigration policies. Since societies will continue to become more diverse, considering the multiple dimensions of diversity will become ever more relevant for research and policymaking.
本文是第一个实证检验国家内部的种族、文化和移民人口多样性是否有利于创业和创造就业机会的论文。基于现有的,但脱节的多样性理论,本文提供了见解,为什么不同类型的多样性可能对创业有不同的影响。我们使用多层模型和全球创业观察对88个国家150多万人的调查来检验我们的预测。我们发现,多样性增加了初创企业和新企业的数量。此外,由于技能互补性,企业在拥有较高技术或非技术移民人口比例的国家雇用更多员工。然而,在文化或移民多样性较高的国家,企业更有可能倒闭,这可能是由于市场分裂。我们的研究结果表明,多样性的微小变化会导致企业生存和创造就业机会的概率发生重大变化。这些结果对寻求加强移民政策的国家具有重要的政策意义。由于社会将继续变得更加多样化,考虑多样性的多个维度将变得与研究和决策更加相关。

Impacts of Digitization on Real Estate Sector Jobs: Significant Structural Change Expected 数字化对房地产行业就业的影响:预计会发生重大的结构性变化
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3498932
D. Piazolo, U. Dogan
Previous research on automation and job disruption is only margin-ally related to the real estate industry and its characteristics. This study examines the substitution potential of occupations in the real estate sector, with an emphasis on the German real estate industry.

Since Germany is the largest EU economy insights for the German real estate market allow a first approximation for Europe. For this, an extensive database of the German Federal Employment Agency containing 286 occupations is combined with a database of the German Institute of Employment Research reflecting to what extent tasks within jobs can be automated by current technical capabilities.

This study follows the task-based approach of Dengler/Matthes (2018), thus calculating the substitution potential of jobs in the real estate sector, revealing that for the 286 identified occupations and their respective tasks a weighted average of 47% can be substituted through current technological capabilities.

This research quantifies the magnitude of the job killer aspect of digitization in the real estate sector. However, digitization also has a job motor aspect. Thanks to digitization, new jobs will arise. This contribution indicates the extent of the structural change the real estate sector has to face due to digitization: one out of two real estate jobs will have to be re-created.
以前关于自动化和工作中断的研究与房地产行业及其特征的关系很少。本研究考察了房地产行业职业的替代潜力,重点是德国房地产行业。由于德国是欧盟最大的经济体,因此对德国房地产市场的见解允许对欧洲进行初步近似。为此,德国联邦就业局的一个包含286个职业的广泛数据库与德国就业研究所的一个数据库相结合,反映了目前的技术能力在多大程度上可以使工作中的任务自动化。本研究遵循Dengler/Matthes(2018)的基于任务的方法,从而计算了房地产行业工作的替代潜力,结果显示,对于286个确定的职业及其各自的任务,通过当前的技术能力,加权平均可以替代47%。这项研究量化了房地产行业数字化对就业杀手的影响程度。然而,数字化也有一个工作动力方面。由于数字化,新的就业机会将会出现。这一贡献表明,由于数字化,房地产行业必须面临结构性变化的程度:每两个房地产工作岗位中就有一个必须重新创造。

Intention to Leave Self-employment: A Comparison of Business Owners and the Independently Self-employed 离开自雇的意向:企业主和独立自雇者的比较
Pub Date : 2019-08-02 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3431368

Purpose: This paper examines individuals who want to leave self-employment to work a ‘regular’ job for someone else. We compare business owners and the independently self-employed who intend to leave self-employment (Leavers) with those who desire to remain self-employed (Stayers).

Design/methodology/approach: The authors used multivariate analyses to compare Leavers versus Stayers. The analyses used data from a national probability sample (n = 738 self-employed), the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce. Predictions were derived from the theory of planned behavior, the conservation of resources (COR) theory, and the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory.

Findings: Work, health, work-family, and satisfaction variables differed for four groups (Owner Stayers, Independent Stayers, Owner Leavers, and Independent Leavers), controlling for demographic and personal variables.

Originality/value: This study breaks new ground by exploring a range of variables that affect leaving self-employment. The authors contribute to the understanding of why individuals intend to leave self-employment by examining non-economic factors that influence intention to leave. The type of self-employment, Independents versus Owners, affects the decision to leave.
目的:本文考察了那些想要离开自营职业去为别人做一份“常规”工作的人。我们比较了企业主和独立自雇者,他们打算离开自雇者(Leavers)和那些希望继续自雇者(Stayers)。设计/方法/方法:作者使用多变量分析来比较离开者和留下者。分析使用的数据来自全国概率样本(n = 738个体户),即2008年全国劳动力变化研究。预测来源于计划行为理论、资源守恒理论和工作需求-资源理论。研究结果:在控制了人口统计和个人变量的情况下,工作、健康、工作-家庭和满意度变量在四组(业主留职者、独立留职者、业主离职者和独立离职者)中存在差异。独创性/价值:这项研究通过探索一系列影响自主创业的变量开辟了新天地。作者通过研究影响个人离开意愿的非经济因素,有助于理解个人为什么打算离开自营职业。自主创业的类型,独立经营还是业主经营,都会影响员工离职的决定。

Business Ownership vs. Self-Employment 企业所有权vs.自主创业
Pub Date : 2016-05-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3044070
Audrey Light, R. Munk
Using NLSY9 data, we find that 68% of jobs classified as self-employment are not independently reported as self-owned businesses, while 16% of self-owned businesses are not independently classified as self-employment. Businesses not regarded as self-employment are often associated with such signs of entrepreneurship as self-identification as an entrepreneur, job descriptions that refer to business ownership or a managerial role, and high individual skill/asset levels. Self-employed jobs that are not independently classified as self-owned businesses are dominated by contract work and home-based, single-person pursuits. Our evidence suggests that self-employment should not be viewed as a synonym for business ownership.
使用NLSY9的数据,我们发现68%被归类为自营职业的工作没有被独立报告为自营企业,而16%的自营企业没有被独立归类为自营职业。不被视为自营职业的企业通常与企业家的自我认同、涉及企业所有权或管理角色的工作描述以及高个人技能/资产水平等企业家精神的标志联系在一起。不被独立归类为自营企业的自雇工作主要是合同工作和以家庭为基础的单人工作。我们的证据表明,自主创业不应该被视为企业所有权的同义词。

Entrepreneurial Skills and Wage Employment 创业技能与工资就业
Pub Date : 2016-03-14 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2759715
Aleksander Kucel, Montserrat Vilalta-Bufí
Promotion of entrepreneurial skills among the population is often considered as an adequate policy to enhance job creation and economic growth. However, neither the definition of entrepreneurial skills, nor the costs and benefits of such a policy are clear. Our aim is to check whether the benefits of entrepreneurial skills extent beyond self-employment. We use a sample of higher education graduates from Spain, from the year 2000 interviewed in 2005 (REFLEX survey). We denote entrepreneurial skills as those competencies that enhance the likelihood of self-employment. Then we analyze whether they are rewarded in wage employment. We find that alertness to new opportunities, ability to mobilize others and knowledge of other fields are the competencies that enhance self-employment in Spain. Yet, these skills are not rewarded in a salaried job. Therefore, benefits of policies fostering entrepreneurial skills do not extend to wage employment in Spain.
在人口中促进企业技能往往被认为是促进创造就业和经济增长的适当政策。然而,创业技能的定义和这种政策的成本和收益都不清楚。我们的目的是检查创业技能的好处是否超出了自营职业。我们使用了西班牙高等教育毕业生的样本,从2000年开始在2005年接受采访(REFLEX调查)。我们将创业技能定义为那些提高自主创业可能性的能力。然后,我们分析了他们在工资就业中是否得到了回报。我们发现,对新机会的警觉性、动员他人的能力和对其他领域的知识是加强西班牙自营职业的能力。然而,这些技能在一份有薪水的工作中得不到回报。因此,在西班牙,培养创业技能的政策的好处并没有延伸到有工资的就业。

Cashless Economy, Tax Evasion and the Behaviour of Self-Employed and Professionals in Nigeria 无现金经济,逃税和自雇人士和专业人士在尼日利亚的行为
Pub Date : 2014-09-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2622025

The study reports on whether a cashless economy is a panacea for reduction of tax evasion by the self-employed. It identifies probability of detection and tax penalties as concomitant variables based on the literature on tax evasion that may blur any impact, and proceed to test the impact of a cashless policy on tax evasion behaviour. A comparative group design, involving self-employed traders and professionals in independent practice, is adopted. A battery of test items developed to estimate probabilities of detection and tax evasion behaviour scores is packaged into a questionnaire and circulated to self-employed qualified to pay personal income tax. The result fails to reject the null hypothesis of no difference between tax evasion behaviour of the comparative groups. The conclusion, starkly drawn, is that tax evasion behaviour of the self-employed has reduced but the reduction cannot be entirely ascribed to the cashless policy, as taxpayers are unaware of the implication of the cashless policy on tax evasion. It is recommended that tax inspectors performing tax audit function should utilise third party information provided by banks to track noncompliant taxpayers.
该研究报告了无现金经济是否是减少个体户逃税的灵丹妙药。它根据可能模糊任何影响的逃税文献,将检测概率和税收处罚确定为伴随变量,并继续测试无现金政策对逃税行为的影响。采用比较群体设计,包括个体经营者和独立实践的专业人员。为估计被发现的概率和逃税行为得分而开发的一系列测试项目被打包成一份问卷,分发给有资格缴纳个人所得税的个体经营者。结果无法拒绝比较组之间逃税行为没有差异的零假设。得出的结论是,个体户的逃税行为减少了,但这种减少不能完全归功于无现金政策,因为纳税人没有意识到无现金政策对逃税的影响。建议执行税务审计职能的税务稽查人员利用银行提供的第三方信息跟踪不合规纳税人。

Stunted Growth: Why Don't African Firms Create More Jobs? 增长迟缓:为什么非洲企业不能创造更多就业机会?
Pub Date : 2013-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2390897
L. Iacovone, V. Ramachandran, Martin Schmidt
Many countries in Africa suffer high rates of underemployment or low rates of productive employment; many also anticipate large numbers of people to enter the workforce in the near future. This paper asks the question: Are African firms creating fewer jobs than those located elsewhere? And, if so, why? One reason may be that weak business environments slow the growth of firms and distort the allocation of resources away from better-performing firms, hence reducing their potential for job creation. The paper uses data from 41,000 firms across 119 countries to examine the drivers of firm growth, with a special focus on African firms. African firms, at any age, tend to be 20-24 percent smaller than firms in other regions of the world. The poor business environment, driven by limited access to finance, and the lack of availability of electricity, land, and unskilled labor has some value in explaining this difference. Foreign ownership, the export status of the firm, and the size of the market are also significant determinants of firm size. However, even after controlling for the business environment and for characteristics of firms and markets, about 60 percent of the size gap between African and non-African firms remains unexplained.
非洲许多国家就业不足率高或生产性就业率低;许多人还预计,在不久的将来会有大量的人进入劳动力市场。这篇论文提出了一个问题:非洲公司创造的就业机会比其他地方的公司少吗?如果是,为什么呢?一个原因可能是疲软的商业环境减缓了企业的增长,扭曲了资源的配置,使其远离业绩较好的企业,从而降低了它们创造就业的潜力。本文使用来自119个国家的41,000家公司的数据来研究公司增长的驱动因素,特别关注非洲公司。非洲的公司,无论年龄大小,往往比世界其他地区的公司小20- 24%。由于融资渠道有限,以及电力、土地和非熟练劳动力的缺乏,导致营商环境不佳,这在一定程度上解释了这种差异。外资所有权、企业的出口地位和市场规模也是企业规模的重要决定因素。然而,即使在控制了商业环境以及公司和市场的特征之后,非洲和非非洲公司之间大约60%的规模差距仍然无法解释。

This paper asks the question: Are African firms creating fewer jobs than those located elsewhere? And, if so, why? One reason may be that weak business environments slow the growth of firms and distort the allocation of resources away from better-performing firms, hence reducing their potential for job creation. The paper uses data from 41,000 firms across 119 countries to examine the drivers of firm growth, with a special focus on African firms. African firms, at any age, tend to be 20-24 percent smaller than firms in other regions of the world. The poor business environment, driven by limited access to finance, and the lack of availability of electricity, land, and unskilled labor has some value in explaining this difference. Foreign ownership, the export status of the firm, and the size of the market are also significant determinants of firm size. However, even after controlling for the business environment and for characteristics of firms and markets, about 60 percent of the size gap between African and non-African firms remains unexplained.","PeriodicalId":443161,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Employment Impacts (Sub-Topic)","volume":"427 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124896953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries 发展中国家的创业精神
Pub Date : 2010-01-01 DOI: 10.1561/0300000031

This study offers that entrepreneurship is consistent with and even complementary to the older and more traditional development strategies. We survey the literature on entrepreneurship in developing countries which, admittedly, is wide and covers a range of issues from culture and values; institutional barriers such as financial sector development, governance, and property rights; and to the adequacy of education and technical skills. A broad literature has also developed on foreign direct investment and its positive and negative effects on technology transfer and entrepreneurship. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a number of studies examined the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises in transition economies. As these economies moved from centralized economies to market economies, enterprise and entrepreneurship became important. Yet, other studies examine the effects of infrastructural development and the macroeconomy on entrepreneurship. With such a wide scope of issues, a framework for synthesizing the literature is needed. This study offers that the identification of the externalities which affect entrepreneurship provides a useful framework to examine the literature on entrepreneurship in developing countries.
这项研究表明,创业精神与更古老、更传统的发展战略是一致的,甚至是互补的。我们调查了关于发展中国家企业家精神的文献,诚然,这些文献很广泛,涵盖了文化和价值观等一系列问题;金融部门发展、治理和产权等制度性障碍;以及教育和技能的充分性。关于外国直接投资及其对技术转让和企业家精神的积极和消极影响的广泛文献也已形成。在苏联解体后,一些研究审查了转型经济中中小型企业的发展。随着这些经济体从中央集权经济转向市场经济,企业和企业家精神变得重要起来。然而,其他研究考察了基础设施发展和宏观经济对企业家精神的影响。由于问题范围如此之广,需要一个综合文献的框架。本研究表明,确定影响企业家精神的外部性为研究发展中国家企业家精神的文献提供了一个有用的框架。
