  • The Impact of Student-Centered Teaching Strategies on Educational Attainment in Econometrics: Evidence From the UK
    Item type: Journal Article
    Shah, Imran Hussain; Lyn, Audrey Au Yong; Morlet, Guillaume Maxence Augustin; et al. (2024)

    This study contributes to the literature by comparing the effectiveness of student-centered teaching strategies (SCTS) with traditional teacher-centered strategies using a repeated cross-sectional sample spanning over four academic years to investigate whether SCTS affects the long-term learning outcomes for a STEM-related social-science subject like econometrics. We specifically use a UK university as a case study to exploit a change in class organization wherein economics and management students are now enrolled in different econometrics courses. The results show that SCTS enhances students’ long-term econometrics performance by roughly 3% in comparison to the mean grade. This study implies that SCTS has a significant impact on the labor market’s ability to fill positions that are more technical and quantitative. Additionally, heterogeneity analyses show that female students and students in the higher quantiles of the grade distribution benefit disproportionately more from SCTS. As a result, it’s critical to recognize and apply the aspects of SCTS that are equally appealing to both genders. This finding carries important implications for the teaching of technical social-sciences, not just limited to econometrics, but also public policy courses that require causal evaluation of programs and laws.
  • Psychological Contracts of Multiple Jobholders: A Multilevel Analysis
    Item type: Journal Article
    Raeder, Sabine (2018)
    SAGE Open
    Organizational research has paid little attention to multiple jobholders. This study investigated the psychological contracts of multiple jobholders in relation to each employment contract and the nonstandard work arrangement of multiple jobholding. The sample consisted of 141 multiple jobholders with two or more jobs and either employed or self-employed status. The results of the multilevel analyses indicated that, with one exception, psychological contract obligations vary more between employment relationships than between individuals. Multiple jobholders’ psychological contracts are only partly related to the terms of their employment contracts and their nonstandard work arrangement. This study connects mainly economic knowledge on multiple jobholders to the organizational variable psychological contracts. Investigating the psychological contracts within and between multiple jobholders helps researchers better understand psychological contracts and how they are related to the job. Typical patterns of multiple jobholders’ employment situation and psychological contracts can thus be identified.
