The value of commuting time, flexibility, and job security: Evidence from current and recent jobseekers in Flanders
基于1852名佛兰德斯求职者的选择实验，发现他们重视工作灵活性、保障和社会影响，且多数人需要大幅加薪才能接受这些属性的降低。
This study examines jobseekers’ preferences for a variety of job attributes. It is based on a choice experiment involving 1852 clients of the Flemish Public Employment Service (PES). Respondents value flexibility (e.g., remote work and schedule flexibility), job security and social impact of the job, and require significant compensation for longer commute times. A majority (70%) would need very substantial wage increase beyond their acceptable baseline wage to compensate for less flexibility, job security or social impact. These findings enhance our understanding of labour supply decisions and can inform the design of salary packages and HR policies.
