Abstract

Zusammenfassung Trotz eines umfangreichen Regelwerks verbleiben den Agenturen für Arbeit und ihren Vermittlerinnen und Vermittlern erhebliche Gestaltungsspielräume bei der Umsetzung der Arbeitsmarktpolitik. In dieser Studie untersuchen wir anhand von kombinierten Befragungs- und Prozessdaten, welche Strategien und Ansätze am wirkungsvollsten für die Integration von Arbeitslosen im Rechtskreis der Arbeitslosenversicherung (SGB III) sind. Die dazu erforderliche Datenverknüpfung wird erstmals für Deutschland vorgenommen. Die meisten Effekte sind in der Größenordnung recht gering und nur für Teilzeiträume statistisch signifikant. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Vermittler, die die schnelle Vermittlung als wichtigstes Ziel sehen, tendenziell bessere Integrationsergebnisse erzielen als Vermittler, die andere Zielsetzungen für wichtiger halten. Die Bereitschaft zur Nutzung von Sperrzeiten wirkt sich schwach signifikant positiv auf den Abgang aus Arbeitslosigkeit aus, nicht jedoch auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit, eine Beschäftigung aufzunehmen. Häufigere Kontakte zwischen Vermittlern und Arbeitslosen haben tendenziell eine positive Wirkung auf den Abgang aus der Arbeitslosigkeit. Wird internen Weisungen bei der Vergabe von Maßnahmen innerhalb der Agenturen ein höherer Stellenwert gegenüber anderen Kriterien eingeräumt, verbessern sich die Integrationschancen der Betreuten zu Beginn der Arbeitslosigkeit.
