The Challenges of Job-Hopping Motives: A Generation Z Perspective
摘要
Job-hopping is growing at a phenomenal rate amongst the newest cohort to enter the workforce and it comes with great consequences for organisations all over the world. This study recruited 179 participants (130 females, 47 males, 2 other) to complete an online survey consisting of 4 scales examining the relationships between perceived flexibility and autonomy at work, organizational commitment, psychological safety, and job-hopping motives in a sample population of Generation Z in Bangkok, Thailand. This study is the first to use a sequential mediation model to investigate these relationships. Results reveal that flexibility and autonomy at work and organizational commitment had a positive association with job-hopping motives. Psychological safety was negatively associated with organizational commitment. These findings will be useful for organisations and HR consultants in Bangkok in helping them to understand how certain psychological factors can help retain these young adults as they help them find fulfilling careers.
