Multiple Job Holding, Skill Diversification, and Mobility

Abstract: In this article, we investigate the interrelated dynamics of dual jobholding, human capital, occupational choice, and mobility, using a panel sample (1991-2005) of UK employees from the British Household Panel Survey. The evidence suggests that individuals may be using multiple jobholding as a conduit for obtaining new skills and expertise and as a stepping-stone to new careers, also involving self-employment. Individuals doing a different secondary job than their primary occupation are more likely to switch t… Show more

“…Finally, a worker may choose to work at a second job for financial or family circumstances that are temporary, at the same time expecting that the current primary job offers the best long-run job match. Using panel data, Panos et al (2014) provide interesting evidence on skill diversification and mobility among British dual job holders. Given the varied reasons for which individuals hold multiple jobs, predicting how multiple job holding differs across demographic groups can be problematic.…”

“…Although multiple jobholders in the United States are more likely to combine a full-time job with a part-time job, multiple jobholders in Europe more often work in two parttime jobs. Multiple jobholders can occupy managerial and nonmanagerial positions and jobs in different occupations, and also occupations they have not been trained or educated for (Panos et al, 2014;Sliter & Boyd, 2014;Wu, Baimbridge, & Zhu, 2009). Relating employment contracts and the nonstandard work arrangement of multiple jobholders to their psychological contracts contributes to identifying whether their psychological contracts reflect typical patterns of their employment.…”

“…Multiple jobholders' psychological contracts were analyzed in relation to their employment situation in each job and to their nonstandard work arrangement of multiple jobs. Highly diverse work arrangements and particular demographic patterns have been found among multiple jobholders (Panos et al, 2014); thus, psychological contracts might differ between multiple jobholders (Figure 1). …”

“…More recent works in the skill-portfolio literature provide evidence for the importance of skills that are acquired via experience and can be applied to different settings (Panos, et al 2013). Human capital accumulates at the firm level through education, learning-by-doing and learning-by-interacting, but may also be acquired externally (Robinson, 2017).…”
