Changing Patterns of Task Discretion in Britain (2004, background): “…sample of 4470 individuals aged between 20 and 60 in paid work, but it allows for rigorous comparisons with earlier national surveys – in particular the Employment in Britain Survey (Gallie et al., 1998) carried out in 1992 and the first Skills Survey carried out in 1997 (Felstead et al., 2002).”
Mapping knowledge in work: proxies or practices? (2006, background): “Over 70 percent of respondents in the Work Skills in Britain 1986–2001 survey (Felstead et al., 2002) reported using some type of automated or computerized equipment, with 40 percent saying that the use of the latter is now essential to their work.”
Job Insecurity and Wages (2007, unknown): “Source: Social Change and Economic Life Initiative (SCELI), 1986 and Skills Surveys, 1997 and 2001 (for details see Penn et al., 1994, Ashton et al., 1999, and Felstead et al., 2002); NOMIS.”
Characterizing the Use of Mathematical Knowledge in Boundary-Crossing Situations at Work (2007, background): “The first change has been a dramatic increase in the deployment of information technologies (IT) as a pervasive, mediating presence within workplace practices ( Felstead, Gallie, & Green, 2002 ; Kim, 2002 ).”
Globalisation, knowledge and the myth of the magnet economy (2006, methodology): “( 2002 ) found a significant decline in the level of discretion over job tasks, especially among managers and other professionals.”
Job Satisfaction in Britain: Coping with Complexity (2005, unknown): “The ‘or dissatisfied’ option was also omitted in the single-item job-satisfaction question in the 2001 Skills Survey ( Felstead et al. 2002 ).”
Is there a genuine under-utilization of skills amongst the over-qualified? (2007, methodology): “Full details of the sampling frame and fieldwork methods can be found in Felstead et al. (2002).”
Interpersonal Styles and Labor Market Outcomes (2008, unknown): “Finally, early work by Filer (1983) suggests that personality is important in explaining labor market outcomes and gender wage differentials.”
Trends of productivity growth in the construction industry across Europe, US and Japan (2011, background): “While there is an increased interest in how skills in Britain have changed over time, how they are distributed, and how these trends and patterns compare with competing nations, there is surprisingly little agreement on what ‘skills’ actually refer to (Felstead et al. , 2002).”
Work Intensification, Discretion, and the Decline in Well-Being at Work (2004, background): “Since at least 1986, though, there has been a decline in task discretion in all sectors of the economy [Felstead, Gallie, and Green, 2002].”
Skills at work, 1986 to 2006 (2007, methodology): “Figures for 1992 and 2001 differ from the 2001 Skills Report (Felstead et al., 2002) which included both the employed and self-employed in the calculations.”
Overqualification, Job Dissatisfaction, and Increasing Dispersion in the Returns to Graduate Education (2010, methodology): “A meta-analysis of multiple studies found little evidence of any growth in overqualification (Groot and van den Brink, 2000), though Felstead et al. (2002) show that there had been a long-term growth in Britain.”
Surveying the scene: learning metaphors, survey design and the workplace context (2005, methodology): “Similar self-assessment techniques have been applied to the study of skills used at work in preference to pure outcome measures such as qualifications and occupational rankings (Felstead et al., 2002).”
