| Title: | | Teamwork and intra-firm wage dispersion among blue-collar workers  |
| Authors: | | Jirjahn, Uwe Kraft, Kornelius |

| Abstract: | | Using data on a sample of manufacturing establishments in Germany, we find that the use of self-managed teams is associated with increased intra-firm wage inequality between skilled and unskilled blue-collar workers. We also show that moderating factors play an important role. While teamwork interacts positively with employer-provided further training and a production technology of the most recent vintage, it interacts negatively with the age of the establishment and the coverage by a collective bargaining agreement. |
