Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Area of Science:

  • Entrepreneurship Studies
  • Labor Economics
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Self-employment is a significant part of the UK labor market, with a substantial proportion operating from home.
  • Existing research offers limited insight into the specific factors driving self-employed individuals to work from home.
  • Understanding homeworking patterns is crucial for addressing broader questions in entrepreneurship, such as job creation and income disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the key determinants of self-employed homeworking in the UK.
  • To examine gender differences in self-employed homeworking patterns.
  • To explore the relationship between homeworking, job creation, and earnings penalties for the self-employed.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a large, representative UK longitudinal survey dataset.
  • Statistical modeling to identify predictors of self-employed homeworking.
  • Comparative analysis distinguishing between genders and employer statuses.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 40% of British self-employed individuals are homeworkers.
  • Homeworking is not merely a transitional phase; employer status and business structure are significant predictors.
  • Findings offer explanations for low rates of job creation among the self-employed and their typical earnings disadvantage.

Conclusions:

  • Self-employed homeworking is a persistent feature of the labor market, shaped by structural business factors.
  • The study challenges the idea that homeworking is a temporary entrepreneurial stage.
  • Results contribute to understanding persistent puzzles in entrepreneurship regarding job creation and the self-employed earnings penalty.
