Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Public Policy and Management.
This dissertation investigates the effectiveness of human resource management policy through the lens of workforce resilience. This dissertation consists of a set of three interconnected essays. Chapter 1 provides a conceptual framework for workforce resilience. Chapter 2 explores the effects of different active and passive labor market policies among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries using panel regression and difference-in-difference analysis. This study finds that countries that spent more on active labor market policies have lower unemployment rate and greater resilience in the Great Recession of 2008. Chapter 3 examines the productivity and behavior of postdocs in US biomedical field by considering workforce diversity using a difference-in-difference analysis. This study shows the heterogeneous behavior and productivity of postdoctoral researchers by citizenship status. Under the more supportive funding environment, US citizens stayed longer in postdocs, permanent residents were more productive. Under less supportive funding environment, permanent residents were less productive. Chapter 4 analyzes how human resource management strategies affect US government employees’ turnover using logistic regression. This study finds that turnover increases when individuals have a gap between job expectation and satisfaction. Chapter 5 discusses the overall theoretical and practical contribution, policy implication, and limitation of this dissertation. This dissertation contributes to the understanding of how government responds and prepares to unexpected social and economic crises (increasing global competition, technology innovation and demographic).
