Abstract

This article introduces job diversity preference into Hoteling's location model to explain individuals' displeasure with work. The mixed part-time jobs (MPJ) can be regarded as more diversified products firms can offer at a higher cost. Individuals pay the product (jobs) with their productivity. We intend to explain: (a) Why some individuals prefer not to work in only single full-time jobs (SFJ) cases; (b) Why allowing free MPJ can be a good idea; (c) How MPJ wage floor and ceilings can block or hinder the effect of the MPJ market. (d) What the government can do to improve employment and social welfare. Bringing Hoteling's model into the labour market to demonstrate individuals' preferences on job diversity is the major innovation of this article.

对工作多样性、混合兼职和自愿失业的偏好
本文将工作多样性偏好引入到酒店业的区位模型中,以解释个体对工作的不愉快。混合兼职(MPJ)可以被认为是企业以更高的成本提供的更多样化的产品。个人用他们的生产力支付产品(工作)。我们打算解释:(a)为什么有些人不愿意只从事单一全职工作(SFJ);(b)为什么允许免费MPJ是一个好主意;(c) MPJ的最低工资和最高工资如何阻碍或妨碍MPJ市场的效果。(d)政府可以做些什么来改善就业和社会福利。本文的主要创新之处在于将Hoteling的模型引入劳动力市场,以展示个人对工作多样性的偏好。
