“…In their review of the UK literature, Green et al (2016) refer to changes in 'management culture' as their preferred explanation for the decline in work discretion over the past 10-15 years. Bryson et al (2016) show that job quality is affected by managerial practices (and other workplace characteristics) over and above individual and job characteristics. Understanding the relative importance of these factors vis-à-vis technology in driving aggregate trends in job quality remains an important challenge for future research, with significant policy implications.…”

This article studies changes in computer use and work discretion and intensity in the EU-15 between 1995 and 2015. We document that while the proportion of workers using computers has increased from 40 per cent to more than 60 per cent, there remain significant differences between countries even within the same occupations. Several countries have seen a significant increase in computer use even in low-skilled occupations generally assumed to be less affected by technology. Overall, the great increase in computer use between 1995 and 2015 coincided with a period of modest deterioration of job quality in the EU-15 as a whole, as work discretion declined for most occupational and educational groups, while work intensity increased slightly for most of them. Our OLS results exploiting variation within country-occupation cells point to a sizeable positive effect of computer use on work discretion, but to no effect on work intensity. Our instrumental variable estimates point to an even more benign effect of computer use on job quality as measured by work discretion and work intensity. Hence, the results suggest that the (moderate) deterioration in the quality of work observed in the EU-15 between 1995 and 2015 has occurred despite the spread of computers, rather than because of them.

“…According to Bryson et al . (), employees in managerial positions enjoy higher‐quality jobs; also high‐skilled workers tend to have more qualified and quality jobs (Boxall, ; Goos et al ., ). Results obtained in the present study are in the same line, and are very similar to the ones in Celma et al .…”

Sustainable Development through CSR in Human Resource Management Practices: The Effects of the Economic Crisis on Job Quality

This article focuses on sustainable development and human resource management (HRM). It analyzes the effects of the economic crisis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the management of employees and its determinants, and also depicts a map of job quality for employees in Spain. Results show that the crisis has not changed the overall pattern or map; neither the characteristics of the firm, the employee, or the job that determine the map. Results also point to the fact that employees at the lower end of CSR in HRM practices have been the most affected by hard cost-containment measures applied by firms, such as dismissals. Around one-third of employees have low job quality in nearly all the dimensions analyzed; while two-thirds have higher job quality, but with variability among dimensions. The analysis is conducted for the years 2006-2010, hence comprising pre-crisis and amid the crisis years. Cross-section repeated samples of employees are used, from the Quality of Working Life Survey, which allow us to study the evolution of HRM and CSR.
