Abstract | "We estimate productivity gains of 13.5 percent from on-the-job soft skills training among Indian garment workers. Productivity gains are most pronounced when trainees work on joint operations alongside other co-workers (particularly treated co-workers). Furthermore, they are mirrored among non-treated co-workers on the production line, consistent with gains being driven by improved teamwork and collaboration. Heterogeneous treatment effects indicate that improvements in the teamwork and collaboration skills of workers substitute for managerial attention, but that the training is complemented by the degree to which managers act autonomously to adjust production processes in response to issues raised by workers. Despite the large productivity gains and increased probability of promotion among treated workers, we find no effects on wages or worker retention, consistent with frictions in the low-wage labor market. Consequently, the net return to the firm was large: 256 percent eight months after program completion." The study refers to the period 2013-2014. (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2023 Elsevier).. |
