Human capital theory and the life-course perspective are used to investigate how economic modernisation, as well as developments in the labour market after the West German “economic miracle”, impacted employers’ supply of further education and training on the job, and employees’ increased participation in these arrangements. Additionally—controlling for the aforementioned structural change and economic cycles—it is analysed whether participation in further training minimises employees’ risk of dismissal and heightens their commitment to a company. The hypotheses are tested using longitudinal data and time series—allowing the analysis of employees’ participation in further education and training on the job, and the careers of West Germans born between 1956 and 1978 for the 1972–2008 periods—by procedures of event history analysis and episode splitting in a dynamic multi-level design. Systematic period and cohort effects of structural change in the economy and labour markets on companies’ supply of, and employees’ participation in, continued vocational training on the job have been revealed. Participation in further training reduces employees’ risk of dismissal, as well as their mobility between companies. Participants’ adaptation to structural change via job-related further training is correlated with increased employment security, professional flexibility, and commitment to the employer.

工作历史上的经济变化和连续职业培训：1970-2008年德国员工参与进阶培训及其对职业生涯的影响的纵向多层次分析

人力资本理论和人生历程角度用于调查经济现代化以及西德“经济奇迹”之后的劳动力市场发展如何影响雇主提供的关于工作的进一步教育和培训以及员工的增加对这些安排的参与。此外，在控制上述结构性变化和经济周期的基础上，分析了参加进一步培训是否可以最大程度地降低员工被解雇的风险并增强对公司的承诺。假设是使用纵向数据和时间序列进行检验的，从而可以分析员工在工作中的进一步教育和培训的参与程度，通过动态多级设计中的事件历史分析和情节拆分程序，了解1956年至1978年之间出生于1956年至1978年之间的西德人的职业。已经揭示了经济和劳动力市场结构性变化对公司供应和雇员参与持续的职业培训的系统性时期和同类效应。参加进一步的培训可以减少员工被解雇的风险以及他们在公司之间的流动性。参加者通过与工作有关的进一步培训适应结构变化与提高就业保障，专业灵活性和对雇主的承诺有关。以及员工的参与程度，还显示了该工作的持续职业培训。参加进一步的培训可以减少员工被解雇的风险以及他们在公司之间的流动性。参加者通过与工作有关的进一步培训适应结构变化与提高就业保障，专业灵活性和对雇主的承诺有关。以及员工的参与程度，还显示了该工作的持续职业培训。参加进一步的培训可以减少员工被解雇的风险以及他们在公司之间的流动性。参加者通过与工作有关的进一步培训适应结构变化与提高就业保障，专业灵活性和对雇主的承诺有关。
