Political and Social Consequences of Qualification Mismatches: A Bounding Approach to Status Inconsistency

Jonas Wiedner

Summary: Status inconsistency theory argues that mismatches between employees' jobs and formal education result in stress, dissatisfaction, political alienation, and social withdrawal, posing a threat to social cohesion. However, previous studies have not fully appreciated the collinearity issue among occupation, education, and their mismatch. This study proposes a new approach to address this identification problem and provides empirical evidence using large-scale survey data from the UK and Germany. The results demonstrate that mismatches have effects on work-related identities, satisfaction, and organizational integration.
