Abstract

While organisations in regional Australia face the difficulty of attracting skilled labour, an increasing number of individuals are considering amenity-lifestyle changes, commonly known as ‘sea-change’ or ‘tree-change’ decisions. So how does this promotion of WLB appeal to individuals’ mobility and decision making-processes specifically in relation to employment decisions? In particular, are individuals motivated by job satisfaction, life satisfaction or both? This issue will be examined through the development of a conceptual model and set of hypotheses designed to test the attractiveness of a move to regional Australia against variables such as work factors, demographic factors, social factors and perceptions of regional Australia. . Proposed findings will focus on developing human resource strategies that better match the needs of regional organisations with the motivations and intentions of skilled migratory labour.
