Time After Time: the stickiness of temporary jobs in career mobility
Speakers: Prof. Elizabeth George (University of Auckland)
Agenda: In this presentation, Prof George use a dynamic, temporal lens to examine how the careers of young workers unfold over a ten-year period when they work in temporary, time-limited contracts compared to more standard, open-ended contracts. Using data from a ten-year national longitudinal survey of 10,904 French school-leavers in 1998, Prof George finds that temporary employment contracts and a negative stereotype of temporary workers sets them on a path wherein, over time, temporary workers are likely to be stuck in a sequence of temporary jobs rather than switching to standard jobs. She also uncovers the conditions whereby time-limited jobs can be less “sticky.”
Date: 16th May 2023 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm online or in-person at the Abercrombie Building, University of Sydney

A relational demography model of respect
Speakers: Prof. Prithviraj Chattopadhyay (University of Auckland)
Agenda: In this presentation, Prof Chattopadhyay examines how diverse members of teams strive for respect and how these behaviours are evaluated by workplace teammates. Data from a multi-wave, multi- source sample of 743 teachers from 125 kindergarten teacher teams in 45 kindergartens indict that the respect earned by diverse members depends on the how they behave and how these behaviors are evaluated by their teammates; team composition, status hierarchy, and individual demographic status
