“…Green and James (2003) found evidence of some differences between employees' and their line managers' reports, though they also found task items to be reasonably reliable. Similar indicators were used following validation tests in the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills, the German National Educational Panel Study (Matthes et al 2014), or the World Bank's STEP Skills Measurement Program (Pierre et al 2014). As described in more detail below, we use skills requirement data in combination with the self-reported education requirement data, to derive an index of the latent "graduate skills requirement".…”

This paper examines differentiation in the recent evolving graduate labour market in Britain. Using a novel statistically derived indicator of graduate jobs, based on job skill requirements in three-digit occupations obtained from the British Skills and Employment Survey series, we analyse trends in the labour market between 1997/2001 and 2006/2012. The indicator performs better than other indicators in validation tests, could be applied flexibly in other contexts, and is available in the Additional file 1. We find that the massive influx of graduates into the labour force has been absorbed with no increase in overeducation. However, the returns to graduation have become more dispersed, with those at the upper quartile of the residual distribution increasing, while those at the lowest quartile have fallen. The wage gap between matched and overeducated graduates increased by 11 log points. Using the British Household Panel Study, we find that the persistence of overeducation status did not change but for non-employed male graduates moving into employment, the chances of entering a graduate job decreased.JEL Classification: J21, J24, J3

“…While this survey will not offer a time-series component, it serves as a useful testbed for exploring the value-added of person level task measures alongside occupation level measures. Most recently, researchers at IAB have fielded a new survey instrument that seeks to rigorously operationalize five major task constructs: analytic tasks, interactive tasks, manual tasks, routine tasks, and autonomy-demanding tasks (Matthes et al 2012).…”

An emerging literature argues that changes in the allocation of workplace "tasks" between capital and labor, and between domestic and foreign workers, has altered the structure of labor demand in industrialized countries and fostered employment polarization-that is, rising employment in the highest and lowest paid occupations. Analyzing this phenomenon within the canonical production function framework is challenging, however, because the assignment of tasks to labor and capital in the canonical model is essentially static. This essay sketches an alternative model of the assignment of skills to tasks based upon comparative advantage, reviews key conceptual and practical challenges that researchers face in bringing the "task approach" to the data, and cautions against two common pitfalls that pervade the growing task literature. I conclude with a cautiously optimistic forecast for the potential of the task approach to illuminate the interactions among skill supplies, technological capabilities, and trade and offshoring opportunities, in shaping the aggregate demand for skills, the assignment of skills to tasks, and the evolution of wages.

“…Furthermore, participants were asked about the activity they were currently involved in, providing information about possible work environment risk factors and/or information about their current work environment. We developed this activities scheme to be suitable for employees in academic settings and confirmed its structure and completeness with literature [26]. A flowchart of the activity-related questions can be found in Figure 5.…”

Several studies have reported on increasing psychosocial stress in academia due to work environment risk factors like job insecurity, work-family conflict, research grant applications, and high workload. The STRAW project adds novel aspects to occupational stress research among academic staff by measuring day-to-day stress in their real-world work environments over 15 working days. Work environment risk factors, stress outcomes, health-related behaviors, and work activities were measured repeatedly via an ecological momentary assessment (EMA), specially developed for this project. These results were combined with continuously tracked physiological stress responses using wearable devices and smartphone sensor and usage data. These data provide information on workplace context using our self-developed Android smartphone app. The data were analyzed using two approaches: 1) multilevel statistical modelling for repeated data to analyze relations between work environment risk factors and stress outcomes on a within- and between-person level, based on EMA results and a baseline screening, and 2) machine-learning focusing on building prediction models to develop and evaluate acute stress detection models, based on physiological data and smartphone sensor and usage data. Linking these data collection and analysis approaches enabled us to disentangle and model sources, outcomes, and contexts of occupational stress in academia.
