  • Where is place in the history of work? Worksites, workspaces, and the home-work nexus

    Open AccessBenjamin Schneider, Jane WhittleARTICLEExplorations in Economic History2026Referências: 80

    The location of work is a topic of renewed scholarly and public interest, particularly spurred by the recent increase in working from home. Research in several social sciences demonstrates that work locations and workspaces have a significant impact on workers’ lives. Historians concur that in the long term, spatial changes in work have profound effects. It is therefore curious that beyond a limited set of examples, worksites and workspaces have …

  • Organizational Climate and Culture

    Open AccessBenjamin Schneider, Mark G Ehrhart et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Organizational…2025

    This article first reviews the history of the research on organizational climate and then organizational culture with definitions of each. The research approaches to both constructs are explicated in some detail, with climate being characterized by survey/quantitative approaches and culture by qualitative methods. Early climate struggles with levels and validity issues are followed by summaries of research since the 1980s on specific outcomes suc…

  • Living Standards and Development Paths

    Open AccessBenjamin SchneiderARTICLEInternational Review of Social…2025Referências: 2

    Differences between models of industrialization are increasingly recognized as an important element of global economic history, and the quality of jobs is receiving new interest as a better indicator of living standards than income alone. This paper considers the implications of historical development models for job quality using the spinning section of textile manufacture in the early United States as a case study. The three factory systems that…

  • Technological Unemployment in the British Industrial Revolution

    Open AccessBenjamin SchneiderARTICLEPast & Present2025Citada por: 1

    This article analyses the elimination of hand-spinning in Britain during the Industrial Revolution and shows that it produced large-scale technological unemployment. First, it uses new empirical evidence and sources to estimate spinning employment before the innovations of the 1760s and 1770s. The estimates show that spinning employed 8 per cent of the population by about 1770. Next, the article systematically analyses the course, extent and loca…

  • Toward a More Expansive View of Priming in Organizations

    Open AccessBenjamin SchneiderARTICLEApplied Psychology2021

    The commentary first briefly presents selected notes on the Chen et al. (in press) excellent and inclusive article on primed goals and their effects. Then, it suggests that there exist at least two major streams of research that are conceptually allied with the priming construct that can serve to expand the range and importance of the implications of primed goals: the self‐fulfilling prophecy (SFP) and the organizational climate constructs. Brief…

  • Gender equality, growth, and how a technological trap destroyed female work

    Open AccessJane Humphries, Benjamin SchneiderARTICLEEconomic History of Developing…2021Referências: 10

    Development economists have long studied the relationship between gender equality and economic growth. More recently, economic historians have taken an overdue interest. We sketch the pathways within the development literature that have been hypothesized as linking equality for women to rising incomes, and the reverse channels–from higher incomes to equality. We describe how the European Marriage Pattern literature applies these mechanisms, and w…

  • Capturing vote-seeking incentives and the cultivation of a personal and party vote

  • Losing the thread

    Open AccessJane Humphries, Benjamin SchneiderARTICLEThe Economic History Review2020Citada por: 5Referências: 3

    In an earlier article we used archival and printed primary sources to construct the first long‐run wage series for hand spinning in early modern Britain. This evidence challenged Robert Allen's claim that spinners were part of the ‘high wage economy’, which he sees as motivating invention, innovation, and mechanization in the spinning section of the textile industry. We respond to Allen's subsequent criticism of our argument, sources, and methods…

  • Spinning the industrial revolution

    Open AccessJane Humphries, Benjamin SchneiderARTICLEThe Economic History Review2019Citada por: 16Referências: 24

    The prevailing explanation for why the industrial revolution occurred first in Britain during the last quarter of the eighteenth century is Allen's 'high wage economy' view, which claims that the high cost of labour relative to capital and fuel incentivized innovation and the adoption of new techniques. This article presents new empirical evidence on hand spinning before the industrial revolution and demonstrates that there was no such 'high wage…

  • Workforce engagement

    Open AccessBenjamin Schneider, Allison Brown Yost et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2017Citada por: 5Referências: 9

    Based on a review of the history of the employee engagement construct and its measurement, we define workforce engagement as the aggregate of the work engagement experiences of individual employees in an organization. In contrast to most research on employee engagement, we study companies rather than individuals and the companies represent a diverse set of industries. We hypothesize and demonstrate on a sample of (up to) 102 publicly traded compa…

  • Organizational Climate

    Open AccessMark G Ehrhart, Karen Holcombe Ehrhart et al.CHAPTERWiley Encyclopedia of Management2015

    Organizational climate refers to employees' shared perceptions of the policies, practices and procedures and the behaviors that get rewarded, supported, and expected in a work setting. As a distinct construct from individual work attitudes like job satisfaction, climate exists at the group or organization level of analysis, and captures the human experience of the organizational environment. The organizational climate construct has received exten…

  • The Effects of Organizational Climate and Culture on Productive and Counterproductive Behavior

    Benjamin Schneider, Karen M Barbera et al.CHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of…2014

    This chapter is about how organizational climate and culture are related to the aggregate productive and counterproductive behavior of employees in organizations. It begins by clarifying how individual behavior differs from unit-level behavior, as well as the ways that unit-level behavior can be conceptualized and studied. It then introduces a framework that illustrates how organizational cultural assumptions and values are manifested in the poli…

  • Organizational Climate and Culture

    Benjamin Schneider, Mark G Ehrhart et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Psychology2013

    Organizational climate and organizational culture theory and research are reviewed. The article is first framed with definitions of the constructs, and preliminary thoughts on their interrelationships are noted. Organizational climate is briefly defined as the meanings people attach to interrelated bundles of experiences they have at work. Organizational culture is briefly defined as the basic assumptions about the world and the values that guide…

  • A Startling New Chemotherapeutic Agent”

    Cynthia Connolly, Janet Golden et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2012

    Using pediatric patient records from Baltimore’s Sydenham Hospital, this article explores the adoption of sulfa drugs in pediatrics. It discusses how clinicians dealt with questions of dosing and side effects and the impact of the sulfonamides on two diagnoses in children: meningococcal meningitis and pneumonia. The care of infants and children with infectious diseases made demands on physicians and nurses that differed from those facing clinicia…

  • Employee Attributions of the “Why” of Hr Practices

    Open AccessLisa H Nishii, David P Lepak et al.ARTICLEPersonnel Psychology2008

    The construct of human resource (HR) attributions is introduced. We argue that the attributions that employees make about the reasons why management adopts the HR practices that it does have consequences for their attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately, unit performance. Drawing on the strategic HR literature, we propose a typology of 5 HR‐attribution dimensions. Utilizing data collected from a service firm, we show that employees make varying a…
