Segmented Labor Market

This article is an exploration of racial differences in the intersegment mobility process in a segmented labor market. To this end, a series of qualitative response models describing mobility of prime-age white and nonwhite males through a tripartite segmented labor market is constructed. It is found that demand variables representing labor market conditions, as well as traditional human capital variables are important predictors of intersegment mobility. It is also evident that there are striking racial differences in intersegment mobility patterns.

An emerging body of research examines collective human capital flow via context-emergent turnover (CET) theory, which builds on resource-based theory and the literature on human capital. CET theory indicates that collective human capital flow—or employee movement into and out of organizations—is of growing significance to scholars and practitioners given the effects that it has on important organizational outcomes. Yet, a better understanding of what drives systematic variance in collective outflows and inflows is needed so that employers can strategize and plan ways to manage human capital flow. We use CET theory to highlight the role of a firm’s reputation as an antecedent to human capital flow. Moreover, because CET theory emphasizes the significance of context, we consider how labor market conditions change the nature of these relationships. We predict and find that a positive reputation helps employers reduce several types of collective human capital flow, yet more reputable employers are better able to do so in slack, rather than tight, labor markets. These results shed light on the importance of context on collective human capital flow and indicate the potential of CET theory to understand not only the consequences but also the drivers of collective movement in and out of organizations.

Historians have long acknowledged that London, because of its enormous size and rapidly growing demand for labor, acted as a powerful magnet for migrants from throughout southern England. However, while there is a large literature documenting the flow of migrants to London, there have been surprisingly few attempts to determine the consequences of this migration for southern labor markets. This article attempts to redress the imbalance in the literature by examining the influence of London on agricultural labor markets during the nineteenth century. In particular, the article examines the effect of distance from London on wage rates in southern England at various points in time, and the effect of labor market conditions in London on short-run changes in agricultural wage rates.
