Recent research suggests that occupations and organizations intersect during the formation of wage inequality. Using administrative data from the Netherlands, I investigate whether workers who are employed in different occupations experience unequal wage growth when staying in an organization. Results reveal that workers in professional and managerial positions realize larger wage growth than workers who work initially in lower-status occupations. After six years of staying at the same organization, predicted wage growth rates vary between 5.44% for production workers and 10.18% for technical professionals. The findings indicate that occupations compound present and future wage advantages at the organizational level. I test whether occupational sorting across organizations with differing pay quality mediates part of the occupation-based heterogeneity in wage growth. The results show that occupational sorting is marked but that sorting explains only up to around 8% of inequality in firm-internal wage growth between different occupational classes in the Dutch labor market.
近期研究表明，职业与组织在工资不平等的形成过程中相互交织。利用荷兰的行政数据，我调查了在同一组织内工作的不同职业的工人工资增长是否存在不平等。结果显示，专业和管理职位的工人比最初从事低地位职业的工人实现了更大的工资增长。在同一组织工作六年之后，生产工人的预测工资增长率为5.44%，技术专业人员为10.18%。研究结果表明，职业在组织层面加剧了当前和未来的工资优势。我测试了不同薪酬质量的组织之间的职业分类是否介导了工资增长中基于职业的部分异质性。结果表明，职业分类很明显，但在荷兰劳动力市场中，这种分类仅解释了不同职业类别之间企业内部工资增长不平等的约8%。
