Abstract

Arbeitszeitkonten ermöglichen eine variable Arbeitszeitverteilung in Betrieben, womit sich Nachfrageschwankungen abfedern und der Arbeitseinsatz an das Arbeitsaufkommen anpassen lassen. Im Zuge der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2008/09 wurden sie umfangreich genutzt, um Arbeitszeiten vorübergehend zu verkürzen. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben sie als Instrument zur Arbeitszeitflexibilisierung einen neuen Aufschwung in der öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussion erfahren. Damit stellt sich die Frage nach den Bestimmungsfaktoren von Arbeitszeitkonten. Mit Daten des Betriebspanels des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung und logistischen sowie OLS-Regressionen wird untersucht, welche Faktoren das Auftreten von Arbeitszeitkonten in Betrieben und die Verbreitungsquote bei Beschäftigten erklären. Die industriellen Beziehungen sind ein wesentlicher Bestimmungsfaktor für Arbeitszeitkonten in Betrieben. Ebenfalls steigt mit einem zunehmenden Anteil an Leiharbeitern und qualifizierten Beschäftigten die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Arbeitszeitkonten, während sie mit zunehmendem Anteil befristet Beschäftigter sinkt. Die Verbreitungsquote bei Beschäftigten hängt positiv mit einem Betriebs-/Personalrat sowie dem Anteil an Leiharbeitern und negativ mit dem Anteil befristet Beschäftigter zusammen.
