REACTIONS OF WORKERS ON FIRM RELOCATIONS. RESULTS OF EMPIRICAL RESEARCH

REACTIES VAN WERKENDEN OP BEDRIJFSVERPLAATSINGEN. RESULTATEN VAN EMPIRISCH ONDERZOEK

In 1989 three government offices, located in The Hague and Dordrecht were relocated to one central office in Rotterdam. In 1994 (four and a half year later) research on the medium term effects on employees was carried out. Analysis shows that more than 50% of the employees did not move nor changed job. Almost 25% moved and did not change job. About 15% of the employees changed job, and 4% stopped working. After the office relocation commuting travel distances and times have increased, the 'moving behaviour' and the 'job behaviour' is significantly related to person and household variables and to distance variables. Besides, loglinear analysis shows that many person, household and distance variables interact. When in a land use/transport scenario study firms are relocated over 15 to 25 kilometres, the effects on residential of employees - and so mobility effects - should be considered.
