Abstract

How does automation relate to organizational conditions across different kinds of jobs? Regression analysis of 874 jobs shows that automation is linked to more competition, teamwork, and responsibility for high-status but not low-status jobs. Our findings suggest that job status may influence the effects of rising automation.
