Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this research is to analyze the effects of industrial complex sites to manufacturing business of South Korea. Method: This research first investigates previous relative studies for employment factors of industrial complex sites. Second, this research identifies employment decision factors of industrial complex sites by applying the two-stage ordinary least squares method to the Korea Industrial Complex Directory and the census data on establishments published by the Statistics Korea. Third, this research provides findings and policy recommendations based on study results. Results: The number of major companies, production quantity, and diversity of manufacturing have positive impacts to employment of industrial complex. The ratio of foreign workers, the number of universities and colleges, and the fiscal self-reliance ratio are also important to employment of industrial complex. Conclusion: The employment enhancement policy of industrial complex should consider regional characteristics as well as infrastructure of industrial complex.
