培训、沟通模式与组织内的溢出

Training, Communications Patterns, and Spillovers inside Organizations
Journal of Political Economy · 2026 · Miguel Espinosa、Christopher Stanton

中文摘要

本文考察培训如何影响组织内各层级的生产率。在某政府机构对一线员工开展随机培训项目后,受训员工的产出增加,而其向管理者寻求协助的请求减少。这使管理者得以专注于战略性任务——尤其是与受训员工联系最紧密的管理者。一个组织层级结构模型显示,对管理者的溢出效应约占该项目总收益的45%,这表明仅关注个体受训者的评估可能会大幅低估培训投资的全部价值。

Abstract

This paper examines how training affects productivity across hierarchical layers within organizations. After a randomized training program for frontline employees at a government agency, trained workers’ output increased while their requests for managerial assistance fell. This freed managers to focus on strategic tasks—particularly managers with the strongest connections to trained employees. A structural model of organizational hierarchy shows that spillovers to managers account for approximately 45% of the program’s total benefits, indicating that evaluations focused solely on individual trainees may substantially understate the full value of training investments.
