| Abstract | The situation in eastern Germany after 1989 brought about a dramatic change in the opportunities for continuing the existing life path, and also for pursuing new life goals. In the present article, interdependencies of events in the working life on the one hand and control beliefs on the other are investigated. Specifically, the question is addressed as to whether the conditions of an abrupt and sudden system change allowed for differences in these beliefs to become accentuated and more important for successes and failures in working life. Empirical analyses rely on data of the 3 birth cohorts of 1939-1941, 1951-1953, and 1959-1961 of the East German Life History Study (n = 1579 initial interview in 1991/1992, n = 886 postal drop-off in 1993, n = 987 panel interview in 1996/1997 (610 of these also filled out the postal drop-off)). Results show, first, that control beliefs were strongly influenced by labor market mobility over all the different periods of the East German transformation, but not by all types of labor market mobility in the same way. Second, in the other direction, only a rather limited impact of perceived control on working lives was observed. For a situation of abrupt social change this is a rather astonishing result, which is obviously due to a closure of structural opportunities despite an opening of institutional barriers. (ZPID). |
