Abstract

Recent trend in the job market has given rise to the job-hopping culture among employees. This is assumed to be based on the changing expectations of employees. The reason behind hopping the job is that employees have a differing idea that staying in one job would not pave way for huge opportunities like financial gain or career advantage. Also, with advancement of technology, transportation and globalization, they feel that opportunities are around the corners of the world and are ready to move accordingly. The research aims to identify the underlying reasons driving this trend, examining the extent to which various factors influence the decision to engage in job hopping. Data was collected using nonprobability convince sampling from 182 employees working in IT Sector in and around Chennai. The analysis was carried out using percentage method, Correlation and Multiple Regression. The results concluded that recognition and growth are the major factors that are affecting the job-hopping behaviour of the individuals. It also emphasizes a positive relationship between Organizational Climate, Work-Life Balance, Recognition and Growth Opportunities and Job-Hopping behaviour of an individual. This study suggests the HR Managers the key influencers of Job-Hopping Behaviour and suggests the strategies to be developed to retain their employees and control the job-hoping decision.
