Does parental involvement in school affect children's school performance
Parental involvement in school is often highlighted as being part of the transmission belt through which unequal parental homes influence children's school performance, passing on advantages and disadvantages. However, particularly genetically informed studies have cast doubt on the causality of these associations. This paper examines several pathways of how gene-environment correlation and interaction may contribute to only spurious correlation …
Algorithmic Management and Workplace Bullying: The Relevance of Specific Employee Experiences Across Work Environments
Algorithmic management (AM) is regarded as a crucial advancement in current workplaces. AM has the potential to alter job tasks and reorganize entire work processes, thus affecting the working conditions of employees. Nonetheless, research on the possible consequences for workplace relationships remains limited. This study narrows this gap by investigating the association between AM and perceived workplace bullying by supervisors or co‐workers. B…
Compensation or accentuation? How parents from different social backgrounds decide to support their children
Previous research has shown that parents respond to differences in their children's potential by providing them with different levels of support, and that such support allocation decisions are shaped by socioeconomic status (SES). We extend this observation to the assumption, raised in research on parental compensation and social mobility, that not only the allocation, but also the form of support provided is socially stratified. Specifically, we…
How Can Genetically Informative Research Contribute to Life Course Research
Genetically informative studies have established a new research field that crosscuts disciplinary boundaries within the social sciences, as well as between social science and biology, with proprietary aims and research questions. This happens, however, at the cost of appropriate integration into the current theoretical and conceptual streams in the social sciences, e.g., sociology. That such a fruitful integration is possible is demonstrated for …
Does the Quality of Early Childhood Education and Care Centers Mitigate the Risk of Externalizing Problems? A Genetic-Sensitive Study of Preschoolers in Germany
This paper examines the extent to which quality characteristics of early childhood education and care (ECEC) experienced at ages 4–6 influence externalizing problems at ages 6–8. Based on a random sample of 713 same-sex twins (55% female, 41% with a migration background) in 364 ECEC centers in Germany, the paper not only distinguishes between detailed ECEC quality characteristics but additionally investigates whether these characteristics affect …

The stress and resources of higher status hypotheses in light of Covid-19: Effects on work-life conflict and self-rated health (Online-Appendix)
This paper explores the heterogeneous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on employees’ well-being regarding their work–life conflicts and self-rated health. Following the stress of higher status and resources of higher status hypotheses, we compared employees with and without supervisory responsibility. We used the third wave of a longitudinal linked employer–employee dataset (LEEP-B3) conducted in 2018/19 and a COVID-19 follow-up survey conducted …

Working Hours, Sleep Disturbance and Self-Assessed Health in Men and Women: A Multilevel Analysis of 30 Countries in Europe
Objectives: This study examined the gender and cross-country differences in the relationship between working hours and self-assessed health among working men and women in Europe, and further explored the moderating role of sleep disturbance in the relationship. Methods: We used cross-sectional data from the 6th European Working Condition Survey on 14,603 men and 15,486 women across 30 countries in Europe. A multivariate logistic regression was ap…
Covid-19 and Work–Family Conflicts in Germany: Risks and Chances Across Gender and Parenthood
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected everyone's daily life in one way or another, requiring a re-negotiation of existing strategies for work-life integration, not only for individuals but also within families and partnerships. To contribute to existing knowledge on work-life integration during COVID-19 in Germany, we look at gender and parenthood differences in the experiences of work-to-family (WFC) and family-to-work (FWC) conflicts.…
What Works? How Combining Equal Opportunity and Work-Life Measures Relates to the Within-Firm Gender Wage Gap
In this paper, we investigate how organizational equal opportunity and work-life measures when combined are associated with the gender wage gap within large German establishments. By looking at both kinds of measures as parts of a comprehensive personnel strategy, we provide a novel way to distinguish between a career-supportive implementation of work-life measures versus implementation as a compensating differential. Using a linked employer-empl…

The effects of parenting on early adolescents' noncognitive skills: Evidence from a sample of twins in Germany
Many theories in the social sciences assume that parenting affects child development. Previous research mostly supports the notion that parenting affects the skill development of children in early childhood. There are fewer studies testing whether parenting in early adolescence has such an influence. We estimate the effects of parenting on early adolescents' noncognitive skills using data from the German Twin Family Panel (TwinLife). Specifically…

Do Work-Life Measures Really Matter? The Impact of Flexible Working Hours and Home-Based Teleworking in Preventing Voluntary Employee Exits
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of work-life measures, which are designed to contribute to job quality and help reconcile employees' work and personal lives. In our study, we asked whether such measures can also work as inducements to prevent employees from voluntarily leaving a firm. We considered flexible working hours and home-based teleworking as flexibility measures that are potentially attractive to all employees. To addre…

Work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts among employed single parents in Germany
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether and how employed single-parents differ from parents in two-parent families in their experience of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC). Looking at job-related as well as family-related demands and resources, this research investigated to what degree these demands and resources contribute to differences in WFC and FWC, how their relevance in predicting conflicts var…
How Individual Involvement with Digitalized Work and Digitalization at the Workplace Level Impacts Supervisory and Coworker Bullying in German Workplaces
Digitalized work has gained importance across industrialized countries. Simultaneously, research investigating the consequences of digitalized work for workplace relations among employees, supervisors, and coworkers, such as workplace bullying, is largely missing. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to investigate how digitalized work influences supervisory and coworker bullying dependent on individual, job, and workplace chara…

The Role of Social Mechanisms in the Formation of Social Inequalities
Despite lacking a commonly shared definition, social mechanisms have recently received considerable attention in sociology. Social inequality research has been a trailblazer in providing examples of how social mechanism can further, theoretically and methodologically, progress. Two different understandings of social mechanisms are reflected in the literature. One refers to theoretical and methodological precision when describing the causal chains…

Status Attainment and Social Mobility: How can Genetics Contribute to an Understanding of their Causes
Intergenerational Downward Mobility in Educational Attainment and Occupational Careers in West Germany in the Twentieth Century
What happens in the occupational careers of men if the intergenerational continuity in status reproduction is disrupted by the failure to reproduce the parental level of educational attainment? We frame this failure as a risk for intergenerational status maintenance and ask whether such a risk induces extra effort by way of compensation. By studying eight birth cohorts born between 1919 and 1971 characterized by largely differing conditions with …
Insecurities in employment and occupational careers and their impact on the transition to fatherhood in Western Germany

Transitions to Post-Communism in East Germany: Worklife Mobility of Women and Men between 1989 and 1993
This article deals with one major aspect of the transformation of former socialist societies: the reallocation of persons in the occupational and class structure via individual mobility processes. In East Germany, this transformation occurred within the unique context of the legal, political and economic incorporation of the former German Democratic Republic into the Federal Republic of Germany. Theoretically, we develop hypotheses on the society…

Back to labour markets - who got ahead in post-communist societies after 1989
This article explores the restructuring of the employment system in post-communist societies, taking East Germany after 1989 as an example. Due to the German Democratic Republic's ‘accession’ to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990, the transitional process here was a particular one. More than other post-communist transformations, the East German case is seen as a prototype of a ‘simple’ adaptation process. In this study we explore whether suc…

Das Jahr 2000: Ein Thema für die Sozialberichterstattung
Das Etikett „2000“ wird zwar schon seit längerer Zeit als Mittel zur Betonung der Fortschrittlichkeit beliebiger Produkte sowie als Projektionsebene für Zukunftsperspektiven verwendet. Als Datum gerät das Jahr 2000 jedoch jetzt zunehmend auch in die konkreten Planungs- und Aktionshorizonte gesellschaftlicher Akteure. Aufgrund seiner symbolischen Bedeutung als Zeitenwende wird dieses Datum erhebliche kulturelle, politische und vielleicht auch mate…

In this paper we look at the impact of employment on family development with reference to men. We investigate the extent to which insecurities in the employment career have an effect on family formation. By comparing the life histories and life situation of men in East and West Germany, we are able to retrieve information about the effects of different social systems on the transition to fatherhood. We use logistic regression models to analyze da…

Old Assets, New Liabilities? How Did Individual Characteristics Contribute to Labor Market Success or Failure After 1989?
This chapter examines the role that resources and experiences acquired in the former GDR played as conditions for success and failure in the new labor market, describing several aspects. One is the issue of whether differences in skills remained important after the transition or whether the arbitrariness of structural location in regions, firms, or sectors outweighed individual characteristics. The second issue is whether educational and occupati…
Agency or constraint? The mutual shaping of control beliefs and working lives in East Germany after 1989
The situation in Eastern Germany after 1989 brought about a dramatic change in the opportunities for continuing the existing lifepath, and also for pursuing new life goals. In this article, interdependencies of events in the working life on the one hand and control beliefs on the other are investigated. Specifically, the question is addressed as to whether the conditions of an abrupt and sudden system change allowed for differences in these belie…

Lediglich in den ersten Transformationsjahren, ca. bis zur Mitte der 1990er Jahre, fand dieses Thema breites wissenschaftliches wie öffentliches Interesse. Die erste mögliche Antwort auf diese Frage lautet: weil Ostdeutschland als die „Neuen Länder“ bis heute nicht zu einem bloßen, eher diffus markierten Region…
