Work organization and preferences dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a model with intergenerational transmission of preferences providing a joint explanation of preference evolution and of work organization changes in a society. We focus on preference for autonomy dened as individual' s degree of initiative and valuation of self direction. We show that the economy has two steady states with dierent levels of workers autonomy and of coercion degree in the work place. The two-way causality between socialization decisions and work organization induces existence of self-fullling beliefs involving multiple perfect foresight paths. Moreover, taking the example of industrial revolution, we show how technological shocks not only impact on the real economy but also on the dominant preference type in a society. This link allows us to highlight the possibility of path dependency in the dynamics of preferences and organizations.
