Reactions of employees on relocations of firms. A reviewPubliekssamenvatting
Abstract niet beschikbaarRelocation of firms can influence the behaviour of employees. They can change jobs or stop working. They can also change their residential location. There is rather much literature about such reactions, covering many different aspects, but we found no systematic reseach which includes all such aspects in a comprehensive approach. Younger employees, women, workers with lower education of jobs and part time workers quit jobs relatively often. Changes in residential locations are rare if the relocation distance is short. Home-to-work distances generally increase after relocations of firms. Movers tend to shorten this distance. Car use increases after the relocations. This is the result of a decrease in public transport accessibility in most of the studies. Job changes and moves as a result of relocations of firms generally take place in the period starting half a year before the relocation and ending two years after. The labour market and the housing market influence the reactions of workers on the relocation of firms but there is hardly any reseach on their influence. No literature is found on the choice of the residential location of movers. Most of the research on reactions of workers on relocations of firms is descriptive in nature and is superficial. General conclusions can hardly be drawn. More research is therefore needed. The report describes how future research can be carried out without being very complex.
