“…We see this as a particularly significant oversight given the importance given to the role of firms in earlier studies of stratification (e.g., Kalleberg and Van Buren 1996;Stolzenberg 1978). In particular, the neo-structuralist stratification perspective persuasively argued that through their decisions regarding the allocation of jobs, how to reward workers for their labor, and where they place their boundaries, organizations play a key role in how income is stratified (Baron and Bielby 1980).…”

“…A number of researchers have recently begun to try to address this gap by more fully discussing the role of organizations in rising income inequality (e.g., Cobb 2016; Davis and Cobb 2010;Sørensen 2007). Leveraging insights from the neostructuralist tradition of stratification studies (e.g., Baron and Bielby 1980), these researchers contend that organizations help determine labor market outcomes such as income inequality by providing unequal access to remuneration, rewards, and opportunities for advancement (Baron 1984;Kalleberg and Sørensen 1979;Spilerman 1977). In fact, studies have shown that nearly 40 percent of the total variation in wages emerges from similarly skilled workers being employed in firms that reward them differently (Abowd and Kramarz 1999).…”

“…Third, variation in attention focus and causal logics and speed of response can result from maturation of firms rather than from variation in the industry velocity. This problem is more likely in younger rather than older firms (Baron and Bielby, 1980). Firms that are at least 10-years old are adequately mature (Baron and Bielby, 1980) and have well developed cognition (Barr, 1998), so we selected firms that were at least 10-years old.…”

“…Our operating premise is that in order to fully understand the causes and consequences of school staffing problems, it is necessary to "put the organization back" into the analysis (cf. Stolzenberg, 1978;Baron & Bielby, 1980), and to examine these issues from the perspective of the schools and districts where these processes happen and within which teachers work. Employee supply, demand, and turnover are central issues in organizational theory and research (e.g., Mobley 1982;Price 1977Price , 1989Mueller & Price 1990;Hom & Griffeth 1995).…”
