Overview

Research investigates workers’ evaluations of transition management, suggesting governance impacts perceptions significantly.

Key Points

  • The research aims to understand how workers in a post-lignite region perceive transition management and what factors influence these perceptions.
  • Conducted a survey of 189 workers in Western Macedonia, Greece
  • Developed four composite indices to measure various perceptions related to transition management
  • Employed a baseline cross-sectional Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression for analysis
  • Used an interaction model to assess the variability of participatory governance's impact based on economic expectations
  • Awareness, participation, and perceived credibility of the transition plan positively impact evaluations of transition management
  • Institutional readiness and broader regional economic prospects do not significantly shape workers' perceptions
  • The findings emphasize the importance of participatory governance and transparency for successful transition management
