Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 1988.

This study uses a three-level analytical framework and six-element game-analogy to analyze the dynamics of social mobility in a newly-industrializing country: Singapore. It also attempts to synthesize the macro-level and micro-level parameters and processes influencing mobility rules and opportunities, as well as the mobility orientations of four categories of employees in Singapore. The study concludes with a summary of the key features of the mobility game in Singapore, followed by a brief, but focused cross-national analysis, with Singapore as the anchoring case, centering on two major aspects of national-level mobility rules: welfare and labor policies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study uses a three-level analytical framework and six-element game-analogy to analyze the dynamics of social mobility in a newly-industrializing country: Singapore. It also attempts to synthesize the macro-level and micro-level parameters and processes influencing mobility rules and opportunities, as well as the mobility orientations of four categories of employees in Singapore. The study concludes with a summary of the key features of the mobility game in Singapore, followed by a brief, but focused cross-national analysis, with Singapore as the anchoring case, centering on two major aspects of national-level mobility rules: welfare and labor policies.
520 $a The following are some of the key inferences derived in this study: (1) Singapore state policies have led to a meritocratic job-allocation system and a wage formula that links wage adjustments to individual job-performance and enterprise profitability. (2) The mobility game characterized by these features has tended to encourage the adoption of a highly individualistic and competitive mobility orientation amongst the citizenry. (3) Braverman's (1974) mental/manual dichotomy provides a useful conceptual tool for analyzing organizational-level mobility games. (4) Large private enterprises and public sector organizations usually operate a "great divide" separating mental labor from manual labor. (5) However, employing organizations are likely to construct some "bridges" across the "great divide," if deemed necessary for securing an adequate level of employee commitment and motivation. (6) Most organizational performance-evaluation systems are likely to allow some leeway for subjectivity on the part of superior officers making performance appraisals. (7) Subjectivity in performance appraisal tends to promote the use of politicking as a mobility strategy among employees. (8) Lower-level white-collar workers and skilled blue-collar workers have the highest propensities to pursue qualification-upgrading, while unskilled/semi-skilled workers and skilled blue-collar workers the highest propensities to seek self-employment. (9) Of the four categories of employees dealt with in this study, the executive-level employees place the most emphasis on achieving intra-organizational career mobility. (10) The mobility orientations of organizational employees can be understood in terms of specific social comparison processes.
