Joni Hersch’s research while affiliated with Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit and other places

... Reviewing the literature on job satisfaction established three distinct clusters of variables: demographic, college experiences, and workplace factors. Prior research has found differences by race/ethnicity (Hersch & Xiao, 2016), gender (Zou, 2015), and socioeconomic status (Engle & Tinto, 2008) in college outcomes and job satisfaction. College experiences include level of education; institutional selectivity; participation in high-impact activities, participation in extracurricular activities, college academic achievement, college major, and education debt. ...

... Relevant data about the hourly rates and income of professionals are available for doctorate holders in general (National Science Foundation [NSF] (2021)), academics consulting in legal settings (Del Rossi and Hersch, 2020), psychologists across settings (American Psychological Association, Center for Workforce Studies [APA CWS], 2017; National Science Foundation [NSF] (2021)), neuropsychologists (Sweet et al., 2021), and psychologists who work in medical school settings (Association of American Medical Colleges [AAMC], 2021), among others. For example, the median annual salary for doctorate holders in general in the U.S. is $104,000, where the gender gap is such that women doctorate holders make $0.78 for every $1.00 that male doctorate holders make (National Science Foundation [NSF], 2021). ...

... Laws regarding the division of marital property are rarely used as a policy instrument and we don't recommend that these laws be modified in light of their possible role influencing decisions regarding opting-out from the labor force to care for young children. There is plenty of evidence that in the U.S.A. women are currently disfavored by current marital property division regimes (see, e.g., (Hersch and Shinall, 2020). We already knew that opting out is an option more available to those who can afford it, as is the case with women who attended elite colleges when compared to graduates from public universities (Hersch, 2013). ...

... Model 2 includes a vector (E) of education-related variables, capturing the selectivity and funding of the highest degree-granting institution, field of study, and age at degree. Institutional selectivity is classified as five tiers, combining the Carnegie classification and information on institutional funding to distinguish: Private Research I and II (tier 1), Private Liberal Arts I (tier 2), Public Research I (tier 3), other four-year universities (tier 4), and specialized institutions (tier 5) (Hersch, 2019). Field of study is grouped into ten categories: Art/Humanities, Science, Math/Computer Sciences, Engineering, Business/Economics, Social Science, Health, Law, Education and Other. ...

... Sexual harassment in workplaces is prohibited according to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Hersch, 2018). Although nine out of every ten countries in the world have adopted regulations against sexual harassment in workplaces (Bondestam and Lundqvist, 2020), it is still a pervasive and prevalent phenomenon across the globe (Zeigler-Hill et al., 2016;Nielsen et al., 2017). ...

As a brief overview of some of the sample characteristics, first compare the overall averages for the immigrant sample reported in column 1 to the corresponding native-born sample in column 4. 6 Although hourly wages are somewhat higher for the native-born sample, the difference is only about 4 percent and confirms that immigrants' faster earnings growth leads to rapid convergence (Hersch and Shinall, 2018). ...

... More specifically, job title was included as a covariate as non-medical staff are likely to have differential relationships with certain outcome variables (e.g., perceived safety climate), as their jobs do not entail interacting with infected patients unlike the medical staff. Further, research has demonstrated that all remaining explored covariates (i.e., age, gender, education level, race, work intensity, work hours, number of children, healthcare facility type, career and job tenure, direct interaction with patients) explain considerable variance in at least one outcome variable of interest (Besen et al., 2013;Carless & Arnup, 2011;Duffy et al., 1998;Grunfeld et al., 2005;Hersch & Xiao, 2016;Iranmanesh et al., 2017;Ozyurt et al., 2006). For instance, age has been shown to positively impact job satisfaction (Besen et al., 2013;Carless & Arnup, 2011), whereas job satisfaction has been shown to be negatively impacted by important considerations such as work intensity (Iranmanesh et al., 2017). ...
