Industry Diversity Effects on Job Mobility

Henrich R Greve, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5015, USA

The effect of industry variables on individual job mobility has been proposed as a promising new arena for research (Hannan 1988; Carroll, Haveman & Swaminathan 1992). This paper examines how the size diversity of organizations affects the rate of job moves within and out of industries. Using data on the career histones of a sample of Norwegian men from 1950 to 1971, this effect is modeled along with organizational and individual determinants of job mobility. The analyses show that organizational diversity promotes mobility within industries and dampens mobility out of industries, suggesting that the study of diversity offers new insights on job mobility processes and related outcomes.
