The Structure Of Wage Differences Among Mature Male Workers Journal of Human Resources 11,4 (Fall 1976): 454-506. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145428 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Human Capital; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Unions; Vocational Training; Wage Differentials; Wages, Men; Work Experience A number of hypotheses concerning the determinants of interpersonal differences in wages are developed and tested. The role of personality structure and of knowledge acquired costlessly from the environment in the overall formation of human capital is found to be considerably important. Testing the hypothesis that labor market segmentation and disequilibrium account for a substantial portion of the variance in wages shows that human capital differences appear to be the prime determinant of interpersonal differences in wages among older males, but that workers with the same level of human capital can earn substantially different wages depending on union membership, industry, and occupation affiliation. |
