Samenvatting

Waarom willen werkgevers samenwerken met sociale diensten ten behoeve van de arbeidsre-integratie van bijstandsgerechten? Het antwoord heeft implicaties voor het werkgeverscontacten van sociale diensten. Met digitale enquête hebben we gegevens verkregen van 197 kleine, 156 middelgrote en 61 grote bedrijven. De enquête bevatte vragen over de intentie om samen te werken, opvattingen over de sociale dienst, subjectieve normen en opvattingen over de ‘goede’ wereld. en de bedrijfsdoelen.
Kleine bedrijven hebben naast economische motieven ook idealistische en persoonlijke drijfveren om samen te werken met sociale diensten. Voor de middelgrote en grote bedrijven gelden vooral de economische overwegingen. De andere factoren, zoals het ‘geloof in een goede wereld’ speelden geen rol van betekenis.

Therefore, in our opinion, social services should take company size into account when they are trying to find employers who are willing to cooperate with them. Whereas all employers underline the importance of financial considerations when it comes to their intention to cooperate with social services, employers at small companies (less than 11 employees) are especially sensitive to a more idealistic approach (“making a difference”) compared to employers at middle-sized (11-100 employees) and large companies (over 100 employees).",
