Abstract:
|
The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of use internal or external labour
market to fill a firm vacancy in SME’s taking into account the differences existing among blue
and white collar jobs. Following different theories we can identify three main reasons for use
internal candidates rather than external ones‐ firm specific knowledge, adverse selection
problems and motivation‐. However, there are others factors that might affect this choice but
the last theories don’t take into account. In this paper we try to shed some light on what are
these other factors that may affect firm decision to use internal or external labour market.
Particularly we analyses the relationship among new technologies, innovation activity and firm
location on the staffing strategy. The results shows difference behaviour on the decision to fill
a vacancy using internal or external labour markets between manufacturing and service firms,
and this decision depends not only on firm internal characteristics, like technological
complexity or innovation activity, but also on firm location. The results also support the
hypothesis of ports of entry especially in the manufacturing sector. |
