In this dissertation, I examine the strategic implications of employee mobility through the development of three inter-related empirical essays...In essay 3, I examine ways in which firms can constrain employee mobility by investigating the micro-foundations of firm-specific human capital – skills which are less valued by external firms. I highlight that the efficacy of firm-specific human capital to function as a mobility constraint requires strong assumptions of informational efficiency and develop theory to explain why perceptions of firm-specific human capital may differ from theoretical predictions in extant strategy theory.
