No effects are found for family occupational type dichotomized as bureaucratic and entrepreneurial. Males but not females respond to an appeal based on equity more than to an appeal based on the dependency of others. Among subjects of both sexes with nontraditional sex-role orientation, response to both appeals is similar, while among those of traditional sex-role orientation, response to the appeal of equity is much greater than to the appeal of dependency. Implications of the current restructuring of sex roles for altruism are indicated. © 1975 Academic Press, Inc.

In particular, the analyses examine Sørensen's conceptualization of open and closed position systems. We investigate one application of these concepts by examining whether open versus closed education systems (i.e., ability group and school type) generate jobs with first employer of differing duration and jobs in open versus closed work position systems. The methodology features a continuous-time discrete-state stochastic model of the transition from the first employer. The data include multiple event histories through age 23 for a 1958 birth cohort of over 11,000 British men and women. In general, we find important differences in the determinants of transitions from open versus closed employment systems. The major differences include gender and earlier life course location in open versus closed education systems and ability tracks. The empirical results only partially support hypotheses in the literature about the timing of transitions (duration dependence) in open and closed employment systems. © 1990 Oxford University Press.}, Doi = {10.1093/oxfordjournals.esr.a036563}, Key = {fds298199} } @article{fds298200, Author = {Spenner, KI and Rosenfeld, R}, Title = {Women, work and identities: an event history analysis.}, Journal = {Social Science Research}, Volume = {19}, Number = {3}, Pages = {266-299}, Publisher = {Elsevier BV}, Year = {1990}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0049-089X(90)90010-G}, Abstract = {This paper uses the concept of identity to understand constancy and change in women's work histories. Identities are self-in-role meanings such as parent, worker, or professional. Identities are relational, hierarchical, and have consistency and motivational implications for behavior. From a life course perspective, we posit that identities both help organize and also change with the course of people's lives. We illustrate the organizing role of identities with a continuous-time discrete-state stochastic model of women's movement between job-related identities (employed but not as part of a career and employed in a career) and less-than-full-time employment. The model considers the rates of transitions into and out of identity states as functions of fixed and changing personal resources, changes in stage of the family life cycle, rewards and opportunities associated with the present job and the career line, and several forms of duration dependence (time spent in the state). Data come from life histories of a Washington state sample of women, studied at age 30 in 1979 and 13 years earlier in 1966 (N = 2536). The analyses suggest work identities operate largely as hypothesized and that the concept has potential for understanding work histories. © 1990.}, Doi = {10.1016/0049-089X(90)90010-G}, Key = {fds298200} } @article{fds298170, Author = {Spenner, KI}, Title = {New Forms of Work Organization in Europe by P.

This article uses employment histories from the Washington State Career Development Study to examine the frequency and determinants of jobs shifts that take women across gender-type boundaries. It was found that many women go between sex-typical and sex-atypical occupations with a change of jobs. Higher work commitment tends to slow moves from male to female occupations, and higher job rewards slow moves across occupational gender types. But family variables do not constrain moves to male occupations nor speed moves to female ones. Thus the results do not always fit with stereotypes about characteristics of predominately male and female jobs. The article suggests that further research is needed to identify career lines and career-line segments by gender type, rather than relying on the sex composition of a particular occupation or even job. © 1992, SAGE PUBLICATIONS.

We investigate how changes in authority structure, work organization, technology, marketing strategy, and organizational boundaries during these years affected organizational performance in 1993. We also assess the degree of path dependence in performance and the role of competitive industry conditions. Numerous organizational changes made by SOEs during early transition had little effect on performance. Yet organizational performance from 1989 to 1993 was highly path-dependent, although this dependence was mediated by the competitive conditions: Stronger markets displayed less path dependence.

Constituent hypotheses predict: (1) increased importance of lateral linkages among enterprises; (2) increased economic concentration; and, (3) increased worker control inside of enterprises. This study uses new data from a panel study of 497 Bulgarian manufacturing establishments, including organizational and worker level data, to test the hypotheses for 1989-92 time period. Overall, the evidence is mixed with little or no support for the lateral linkage hypothesis, some support for increased economic concentration, and mixed support for increased worker control in establishments but from a weak beginning position.

Definitive reasons and remedies for minority underperformance remain unclear. This study examines how students acquire and utilize "collegiate capital" which, in turn, relates to their academic achievement in the first year of college. Results indicate that significant black-white differences in academic achievement emerge as early as the first semester of students' first year in college. Controls for family background, parental involvement, prior ability, cultural capital acquired during the middle- and high-school years, and other factors produce a moderate reduction in the achievement gap, but over half of the gap remains unexplained. The study is part of a larger research project that involves a longitudinal study of two cohorts - the graduating classes of 2005 and 2006 - at a major private university. Through the assessment of pre-college differences and extensive data collected via student surveys and academic records during the college years, the goal of the larger project is to illuminate the factors underlying raced-based variations on a range of academic outcomes such as educational performance and attainment, but also several new measures of collegiate intellectual development such as students' ecological integration, perceptions of other groups, and satisfaction with college. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

We add to the existing literature by providing a detailed empirical portrait of legacies at a private, selective university across the college years. We examine how legacies are distinctive in their admissions profiles, within-college achievement and post-graduation plans, using data from a panel study of students attending Duke University. We find that legacies enter college with an abundance of economic, cultural and social capital, but also have lower levels of human capital compared to other students with college graduate parents. Due to this human capital deficit, legacies have lower grades in the first college year, but show little academic underperformance in subsequent semesters. Additionally, legacies are less likely to plan to be a medical doctor or engineer and have somewhat lower degree aspirations than other students. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11162-009-9136-9}, Key = {fds298190} } @article{fds324447, Author = {Spenner, KI}, Title = {Education and Jobs: Exploring the Gaps}, Journal = {Contemporary Sociology}, Volume = {39}, Number = {4}, Pages = {463-465}, Publisher = {SAGE Publications}, Year = {2010}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0094306110373238dd}, Doi = {10.1177/0094306110373238dd}, Key = {fds324447} } @article{fds318993, Author = {Arcidiacono, P and Aucejo, EM and Spenner, K}, Title = {What happens after enrollment?

This outcome could suggest that affirmative action policies are playing a key role to reduce racial differences. However, this convergence masks two effects. First, the variance of grades given falls across time. Hence, shrinkage in the level of the gap may not imply shrinkage in the class rank gap. Second, grading standards differ across courses in different majors. We show that controlling for these two features virtually eliminates any convergence of black/white grades. In fact, black/white gpa convergence is symptomatic of dramatic shifts by blacks from initial interest in the natural sciences, engineering, and economics to majors in the humanities and social sciences. We show that natural science, engineering, and economics courses are more difficult, associated with higher study times, and have harsher grading standards; all of which translate into students with weaker academic backgrounds being less likely to choose these majors. Indeed, we show that accounting for academic background can fully account for average differences in switching behavior between blacks and whites.}, Doi = {10.1186/2193-8997-1-5}, Key = {fds318993} } @article{fds318992, Author = {Arcidiacono, P and Aucejo, E and Hussey, A and Spenner, K}, Title = {Racial segregation patterns in selective universities}, Journal = {The Journal of Law & Economics}, Volume = {56}, Number = {4}, Pages = {1039-1060}, Publisher = {University of Chicago Press}, Year = {2013}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/674056}, Abstract = {This paper examines sorting into interracial friendships at selective universities. We show significant friendship segregation, particularly for blacks. Indeed, blacks' friendships are no more diverse in college than in high school, despite the fact that the colleges that blacks attend have substantially smaller black populations.We demonstrate that the segregation patterns occur in part because affirmative action results in large differences in the academic backgrounds of students of different races, with students preferring to form friendships with those of similar academic backgrounds. Within a school, stronger academic backgrounds make whites' friendships with blacks less likely and friendships with Asians more likely. These results suggest that affirmative action admission policies at selective universities, which drive a wedge between the academic characteristics of different racial groups, may result in increased within-school segregation. © 2013 by The University of Chicago.

College experiences including group participation and positive subjective evaluation also increased the likelihood of giving.

Of the within-college factors we considered, perceptions of campus climate and selection of major field of study were most important in explaining racial/ethnic differences in GPA. Personal resources, such as academic effort, self-esteem and academic identification, and patterns of involvement in campus life were significantly associated with GPA, but these factors did not account for racial/ethnic differences in academic performance.

Ex ante mismatch occurs when revelation of this information would have changed the student's choice of school. This necessary condition for mismatch provides the basis for a new test. The test is implemented using data from the Campus Life and Learning Project at Duke University. Evidence shows that Duke does possess private information that is a statistically significant predictor of students' post-enrollment academic performance. Further, this private information is shown to affect the subjective measures of students' satisfaction as well as their persistence in more difficult majors. We also propose strategies to evaluate more conclusively whether the presence of Duke private information has generated mismatch. © 2011 Peter Arcidiacono, Esteban M.
