| description | This study investigated the relationship between job rotation practices and employee
career development prospects among production workers of Japanese electronic
companies in Malaysia. It examines the extent to which job rotation practices are
significant to career development outcomes that are career progression, knowledge
and skill and career management. A model of job rotation developed by Campion,
Cheraskin and Stevens (1994) was used as the premise to test the linear relationship
between job rotation and employee career development in the workplace. This is
done by analyzing survey-based data sets particularly obtained from samples of 209
production workers in Japanese electronic manufacturing companies in Malaysia.
The Pearson Correlation was used to measure the association between the variables
and to test the research hypotheses. The results of the study found that there were
significant correlation between job rotation practices and employee perception
towards three career development outcomes, namely, career progression, knowledge
and skill and job rotation benefits. Job rotation is considered as an important on-the job
training and the emphasis on this practice should be made in order to ensure all employees participating in the job rotation could enjoy various experiences,
knowledge and skills valuable to their career development in the future. |
