Informationstechnologien, organisatorische Veränderungen und Entlohnung (Information technologies, organisational changes and remuneration)

"On the basis of an individual data set for 1998/99, this study examines whether the use of information technologies (IT) and organisational changes in companies influence the employees’ wage level. It becomes obvious that IT use is associated with an average wage effect of five to six per cent, with the effects occurring for different IT components being very heterogeneous. Organisational changes have a significant effect on wages only when they have a complementary relationship with IT use. In the case of outsourcing, the employees’ qualification level plays a significant role in addition." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
