Testing the expectancy-disconfirmation theory: Geography, employment status and household size of local communities determine their perspectives of a local mine business in South Africa.

In this SEM, there are significant relationships between some socio-demographic variables and the distance from the mining operation site ( Table 2 ): larger households tend to be found further away from the mine (β = 1.08±0.22, P<0.001) and community members who have been residing for longer period in the MKLM are also found further away from the mine, but this relationship is only marginally significant (β = 0.04±0.02, P = 0.079).
