| Tiivistelmä: | The mix activities in a job is set in advance of and independent of the characteristics of any particular individual. Based on alternative theories and prior research, the occurrence of idiosyncratic jobs whose duties reflect the interests or abilities of current employees (evolved jobs) or others (opportunistic hires). Idiosyncratic jobs account for between 7 and 12 percent of new jobs in a highly formalized system in which such jobs should be least likely to be found. Some theory suggests that such jobs should be harmful, while other theory and field research suggest they may also be the product of opportunism by managers in response to ambiguity and uncertainty. |
