| Abstract | This study explores how an imposed (“disruption event”) workplace relocation from Subiaco to Perth's (Western Australia) City Centre in July-August 2021affected built environment professionals' employee general satisfaction with commuting (GSC). Four theories were examined: H1: Workers are usually content with their commuting; H2: Employees' GSC is impacted by office relocation; H3: Employees' commute modality is influenced by office relocation; and H4: GSC is influenced by weekly expenditure, commute duration, transport category, and commute distance. Survey findings suggest that GSC decreases with distance, except for the 6-10km group prior to relocation. GSC generally decreased as weekly commuting expenditure increased. Post-relocation car dependency sharply decreased and commute satisfaction increased. The study contributes to increasing cross-disciplinary dialogue and understanding in urban and community development, and transportation infrastructure planning and construction, and initiates an understanding of causative variables toward building generalisable theory. |
