Enquête sur le milieu de travail et les employés (EMTE)
description
- Nature : Combinaison d'une enquête sur le milieu de travail et d'une enquête auprès des employés (dans les mêmes lieux de travail).
- Utilisation : Cette base de données permet aux chercheurs de suivre les changements qui se produisent chez les employés et de les relier aux événements qui surviennent dans les entreprises, et vice versa.
- Contenu : L'objectif principal de l'EMTE est d'établir un lien entre les événements qui se produisent en milieu de travail et les résultats pour les travailleurs. Le deuxième objectif de l'enquête est de mieux comprendre les forces qui façonnent les entreprises en cette époque de changement important. Le volet de l'EMTE axé sur le milieu de travail porte sur des sujets comme l'adoption de technologies, le changement organisationnel, la formation et d'autres pratiques touchant les ressources humaines, les stratégies opérationnelles et la dynamique du marché du travail. Le volet axé sur les employés couvre la rémunération, les heures de travail, le type d'emploi, le capital humain, l'utilisation des technologies et la formation.
- Période de couverture : L'enquête sur le milieu de travail couvre les années 1999 à 2006. L'enquête auprès des employés couvre les années 1999 à 2005.
Funded Projects
This project consists of three projects:
Project 1 - Complementarity of Performance Pay and Task Allocation
Bryan Hong, Lorenz Keung and Mu-Jeung Yang
Complementary management practices are those that are interdependent and together reinforce one another to improve overall firm performance. Research has suggested that such complementarity between different management practices is one underlying cause of differences in performance outcomes among firms. The purpose of this study is to examine the complementarity between two specific management practices: pay-for-performance and decentralization, the dispersion of decision making from a central authority to subgroups of the firm. While these practices have been empirically investigated individually, little is known about how the interaction between decentralization and pay-for-performance may affect firm performance.
Project 2 - Barbarians at the Gate: How foreign competition affects intra-organizational conflict
Bryan Hong and Romel Mostafa
Cyert and March (1963) describe the firm as the combination of interdependent groups, which often have competing interests. It is no surprise that such competing interests can lead to conflict within firms, also referred to as intra-organizational conflict. The effects of intra-organizational conflict are well studied. Research has indicated that the time managers spend managing conflicts is substantial, suggesting the cost of conflicts within the firm are significant. Little is known about how forces outside of the firm affect the likelihood and prevalence of conflict within a firm. The purpose of this study is to estimate how one specific external force, foreign competition, affects the occurrence and frequency of intra-organizational conflict in the Canadian context. This study uses data from the Workplace and Employee (WES) survey conducted by Statistics Canada.
Project 3: Incentives as a Moderator of Conflict During Organizational Change
Bryan Hong
When a firm experiences an organizational change or restructuring, it is likely conflicts that disrupt the firm will occur. This study focuses on how organizational changes affect the prevalence of conflicts and employee grievances filed within the firm. As a measure for organizational changes, this study employs changes in organizational structure (ex. centralization, decentralization, outsourcing) from the WES survey. This study also investigates how the presence of group level pay-for-performance incentives (ex. profit sharing plans) affect the frequency of firm conflicts.

How do firms in high-income countries adjust to emerging market competition? We estimate how a representative panel of Canadian firms adjusts innovation activities, business strategies, and exit in response to large increases in Chinese imports. Whether firms invest in process or product innovation matters: on average, the number of process innovations declines more strongly than the number of product innovations. In addition, firms that initially pursue process innovation strategies and survive have higher profits ex-post, but are ex-ante more likely to exit. In contrast, firms that initially pursue product innovation strategies have higher profits if they survive, without significant impact on exit. Both empirical patterns are consistent with our theory, which suggests that innovation strategies do not ensure insulation against competitive shocks, but instead increase risk.

The conditions under which profit sharing affects workplace productivity have never been fully understood. Using panel data, this paper examines whether there is any link between adoption of an employee profit sharing plan and subsequent productivity panels. Overall, we find a significant link between adoption of a profit sharing program and subsequent productivity growth in both panels, but only among establishments that utilize work teams. growth in Canadian establishments, and whether this relationship is affected by various contextual factors, particularly use of work teams. In so doing, we use both three and five-year panels. Overall, we find a significant link between adoption of a profit sharing program and subsequent productivity growth in both panels, but only among establishments that utilize work teams.

The stock of human capital of the firm is an important determinant of its innovation performance. As such, any increase in this stock through firm-sponsored training should have a significant impact on innovation. We test this hypothesis using detailed information on the firms' human capital investments and innovation performance using the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey 1999-2006. Our results using fixed workplace-effects or allowing for time-varying productivity shocks show that increases in both on-the-job and classroom training lead to more product and process innovation. We then investigate whether innovation can serve as another channel through which training affects productivity.
