Job Relocation Decisions in the Service Sector: a Qualitative and Quantitative Study
نویسنده
چکیده
This manuscript seeks to test a comprehensive model of job relocation decisions by conducting two independent but complementary investigations. The first study, using qualitative methods, inductively determined the key situational antecedents to job relocation decisions. The sample included 60 managers and executives from two U.S. multi-site service organizations. Results suggested that five situational categories of predictors were common across a diverse number of relocation experiences: professional development, financial considerations, location considerations, family support, and organizational pressure to relocate. The second study, using quantitative methods, incorporated the five situational categories of predictors induced from the first study into an extension of the Brett and Reilly (1988) job transfer model, allowing for the first comprehensive test of this twelve-year-old conceptualization. The sample consisted of 446 Australian and New Zealand managers and executives of an international service organization. Results supported the Brett and Reilly (1988) model that both situational and intentional predictors influenced the job relocation decision.
