Abstract
Orientation: This study is part of an ongoing research project on various dimensions of labour
productivity in the South African workplace.
Research purpose: The aim of this article was to determine the magnitude of employee
migration to smaller firms in the South African workplace and the directional impact of this
migration on employee productivity and real remuneration levels when different employee
diversity attributes are considered.
Motivation for the study: The study focussed on understanding why the migration of
employees from bigger and more labour productive firms can have a positive employee
productivity spillover effect on smaller firms...
