Job security in an efficiency wage model
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the relationship between job security and efficient wages. Variations in employment and unemployment are conditioned by work regulations which condition the probability of being fired from the job due to shirking. A model which assumes that employees either shirk or not shirk and are paid efficiency wages is developed. Results show that work rules change such that employees are not easily fired for shirking, involuntary unemployment is raised while employment is reduced.
