Abstract
This thesis investigates labor dynamics within the Imperial Ottoman Bank between1900 and 1930, drawing on archival personnel records to explore ethnic hierarchies,wage disparities, and mobility patterns. By combining AI-assisted transcriptionof handwritten documents with statistical analysis, the study reveals how the Bankfunctioned as a microcosm of imperial labor segmentation. Despite data limitations,key findings highlight the use of mobility as a shock absorber, the persistence yetsemi-rigidity of ethnic occupational hierarchies, and emerging signs of institutionalmeritocracy. These insights contribute to Ottoman economic and labor history,comparative empire studies, and the historiography of modern organizational laborstructures.ners alike.
