It is a well-documented phenomenon that individuals with higher education than required for their job report lower job satisfaction. However, whether this also applies to public sector employees remains unclear. The German case reveals a negative relationship between overeducation and job satisfaction in the private sector, which is reversed to positive for public sector employees. This holds robust ...

How does the implementation of a new technology affect workers? Using detailed worker-level data for Germany, we analyse the impact of new technologies on non-monetary working conditions such as overtime, training and perceived labour intensity. We show that the strongest effects arise in the first year of their implementation. These effects diminish after the introduction period. We further provide ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a prominent topic regarding the digitalisation of work and its diffusion is expected to radically change job quality. Overall, there exists a large discrepancy between discursive expectations and quantitative empirical evidence. In this article, we use a novel module from the German Socio-Economic Panel to examine the overall prevalence of AI at work, the determinants ...

While stratification scholars have extensively examined intergenerational associations in lifetime income, they have mostly disregarded how family background affects exposure to income volatility over the life course. As exposure to volatility represents a non-desirable outcome associated with negative shocks to individuals’ welfare, studying the link between family background and volatility is key ...

Large-scale socio-economic panel studies aim to document societal trends and public opinions using representative population samples. Despite the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on public and private life across diverse contexts, these studies have rarely addressed the use and evaluation of AI for individual respondents. Therefore, a standardized assessment instrument is introduced ...

Despite the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in diverse contexts, large-scale socio-economic panel studies have rarely addressed the use and evaluation of AI for individual respondents. Therefore, the Artificial Intelligence Experience and Attitude Survey (AIEAS) is introduced to measure awareness, experience, attitude valence, and usage intention regarding AI in the work, healthcare, ...

We analyse how co-determination is related to non-compliance with the German minimum wage, which was introduced in 2015. The Works Constitution Act (WCA), the law regulating co-determination at the plant level, provides works councils with indirect means to ensure compliance with the statutory minimum wage. Based on this legal situation, our theoretical model predicts that non-compliance is less likely ...

This study investigated motivation to learn (MtL), conceptualized at a global level of abstraction, and participation in adult learning and training (PAE). In Study 1 (N = 747, 65.1 % female; age: M[SD] = 43.21[12.09] years), the nomological network of global MtL revealed strong correlations with mastery goal orientation, intrinsic task value, need for cognition, and self-concept of ability. Cross-sectional ...
