- Title
Employment Adjustment versus Hours Adjustment: Is Job Security Desirable?
- Authors
Hogan, Seamus; Ragan, Christopher
- Abstract
The article presents a theoretical framework for examining the desirability of job security. It discusses about simple model of job security and turnover presented. Many labour contracts contain provisions reflecting the desire workers have for job security. One such provision concerns whether firms that are faced with the need to alter total labour input will adjust by changing the number of workers employed, or by changing the number of hours worked by each employee. One way governments influence the job matching process is through systems of regulations on hiring and separations.
