【论坛主题】Cross-Country Differences in Management

【主讲人】张乐天，哈佛大学助理教授

【论坛摘要】

We examine the role of a society’s social trust in shaping its organization’s job design. We use a dataset comprising over 60 million job postings from 28 European Union countries. Our most rigorous analytical models employ bilateral trust measures to predict job design choices, including fixed effects on country, firm, and occupation, as well as relying on an instrumental variable approach. This study underscores the role of social trust in shaping organizational practices.
