Why Has Work Effort Become More Intense?
Open accessAbstract
It is hypothesized that technological and organizational changes are an important source of work intensification, and supportive evidence is found using establishment data for Britain in the 1990s. Work intensification has also been stimulated by the use of high‐commitment human resources policies. A reduction in union power and a rise in the use of temporary agency workers and contractors were positively associated with work intensification; however, their impact during the 1990s was modest.
Overview
CoChat Summary
TL;DR
Using British establishment data from WERS98, Green argues that work intensification in the 1990s was driven mainly by effort-biased technological and organizational change, with high-commitment HR policies also contributing. Declining union power and greater use of non-standard workers had only modest effects.
Key findings
- Technological and organizational change was the most important identified source of intensification: 46% of managers reported new technology/techniques/procedures and work organization changes, while only 11% reported none. Within-sample predictions show that with no technological change, the probability that effort “gone up a lot” falls from 40% to 23% in small establishments and from 44% to 26% in large establishments; if technological change were universal, it rises to 51% in both.
- High-commitment policies also mattered: removing employee involvement and performance-related pay lowers the predicted probability of effort “gone up a lot” from 40% to 32% in small establishments and from 44% to 43% in large establishments.
- Declining union power and non-standard labor had weaker effects: collective bargaining decline was confined to 5% of establishments (10% of employees), and union decline made virtually no difference in predictions; temporary agency workers and contractors were significantly associated with intensification, but fixed-term and part-time workers were not.
- Public-sector intensification was greater: managers reporting effort “gone up a lot” were 49.0% in the public sector versus 36.3% in the private sector; worker representatives reported 66.6% versus 50.8%. Table 1 shows private-sector strong agreement that the job requires working very hard rose from 31.5% in 1992 to 38.2% in 1997, while public-sector agreement rose from 31.9% to 44.3%, with no significant change after 1997.
Methods
- Uses the cross-section component of the 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS98), a random sample of British establishments with at least 10 workers; 2,191 management interviews were completed (80% response rate) and 947 worker representative interviews (82% response rate), with usable effort responses for 1,934 establishments.
- The dependent variable is managers’ 5-point report of change over the previous five years in how hard people work; estimation is by ordered probit of a first-difference equation including technological change, high-commitment policies, union decline, and changes in non-standard labor use.
- Robustness checks use worker representatives’ effort reports and external consistency checks; the industry-level correlation between WERS98 intensification and independent 1992–1997 effort-change measures is 0.681.
Limitations
- The paper states that the effort-intensification data are subjective, findings should not be regarded as definitive, and they await confirmation from other data sets with other effort measures; it also notes possible omitted variables, recall error, and that supply-side shifts are not empirically evaluated.
- The paper states that future returns to current effort are hard to estimate from contemporary earnings functions, limiting assessment of wage–effort links.
- Evident from the text: the cross-sectional first-difference design cannot establish causality; the analysis is limited to Britain in the 1990s; manager and worker representative perceptions differ (Spearman correlation 0.101); and the union-decline measure is rare and refers to collective bargaining over pay rather than effort directly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-14, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-14 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
