Explain the concept of Job Rotation

The job rotation forms one of the most important factors that are under the consideration of the management of the organisation as the same helps a lot in getting the best out of the employees and the organisation is able to achieve the desired results that have been set in the regard of the pre fixed vision of the organisation. In an organisation there are in fact a large number of the departments and the streams or the units where the respective work is carried on from the time to time but there are some kind of the works that are to be done as a routine and hence there can be times when the same may get very boring in the nature of the working for the staff member in an organisation. So it becomes very necessary to get the work done in the various ways so that the staff members can do the same with much more activeness and less of the burden. There are the two ways for the same, one is that the same work can be done by the various staff members of the organisation from the time to time as by this the boredom will not creep in the working of the staff members in an organisation but the second way is that the same type of the work can be made to be done in the different ways by changing the ways of the presentation or by asking and then presenting the same thing in the different ways and by this the boredom can be reduced and the level of the productivity and at the same time the level of the accuracy can be increased and all this is not only better for the staff member of an individual but also very productive for the organisation as a whole.

The job rotation can be done and is usually done at the places where the routine work is done at a very usual level and the environment is such that the same can not be modified at any of the time and hence the same type of the work is required to be done in the same way. Here is the scenario where the role of the job rotation is very critical and at the same time very vital in the nature of the working. The various kind of the research work that has been done by the various kinds of the researchers from time to time at the different places of the world, very clearly suggest that the level of the productivity with time goes down as a result of the boredom and the same is caused as a result of the same boring work and the studies that have been conducted in this specific regard by the various scientists in the various places of the world very clearly suggest that job rotation has the power to change the things and has proven it self from the time to time. The main thing that has been observed in the case of the job rotation is of the concept of the monotony and the job rotation has been found to be successful in the nature of the working as it has been able to change the things by breaking the monotony of the same and hence in the other words it can be said that the job rotation in fact is a process where the staff members are rotated from the time to time from one type of the job to the other and with this the level of the boredom can be removed and the staff member is able to work with the more of the motivation and the new type of the ideas have more chances to come in to the existence as compared in the other type of the scenarios.

When the same staff member does the same type of the work as a routine, it is very necessary that he or she will start taking the things for granted and there are the more chances of doing the things wrong as the staff member loses the interest in the same with the time. Hence with the help of the job rotation it is very possible to change the things and staff members start to work in the much better way with the higher level of the attention in the work in an organisation. There were times when the same were in fact not at all known to the management of the organisation and at the same time were also not known to the staff members as well. But when the study regarding the lowering of the productivity of the staff members of an organisation were considered by the researchers at the various places of the world, this factor was also seen at a large number of the places and from there it spread in the whole world and almost every organisation is in the simple words, the prey to all this. From that particular time, the concept of the job rotation ahs become very known and the organisations take very keen interest in this process and the special training sessions are done for the staff members and specially for the staff members of an organisation who are at the managerial or the supervisory level, to educate them about all this. In the concept of the job rotation, the staff member has to perform a certain set of the activities but at one time the staff member has to do one kind of the job and after doing it for the some amount of the time, the staff member is shifted from one kind of the job to the other and hence with this the organisation is not at all disturbed as the organisation is getting the work that is required to be done but the same is being done by the various staff members from the time to time and this kind of the process if very good and at the same time very much beneficial not only for the staff member but also for the organisation as a whole.

When the same person does the same kind of the work in the routine, the human nature is such that the person loses the interest in the same and the zeal in the same is lost some where and as a result of all this the staff member is not able to give the best form of the results in the work and all this not only affects the organisation but at the smaller level, the staff member is also affected a lot and this must be checked and the answer to this is the process of the job rotation. The skills of the staff members improve a lot in the case of the job rotation and the level of the zeal and the habit to accept the challenges is maintained as the level of the boredom is not at all there in the whole of the process as a result of the coming in of the process of the job rotation. The job rotation was at times referred to as the useless process but the application of the same at the various times in the various organisations in the various parts of the world has changed a lot of the things and the same has got the needed respect in the due course of the time. Like any kind of the process, there are the two sides of the process like the two sides of the coin and in the same way the process of the job rotation is having the advantages and at the same time there are some type of the drawbacks of the same as well.

The advantages and the disadvantages are just the result of the usage as for some of the staff members of an organisation some of the factors have the power to act as the advantage but at the same time the same factor may act as the disadvantage for any other staff member of an organisation. as discussed earlier too, the level of the boredom is reduced a lot and in fact the same is brought at almost a negligible level and the main result for the same is that the various activities that are to be done in an organisation are diversified a lot and the result of this kind of the diversification is that the monotony that may be present in the whole process is omitted and this in fact is the basic for the whole of the process and this is the one step that makes the process of the job rotation very challenging in the nature of the working and this is in fact the basic point that makes the job rotation goes miles in the nature of the working. The job rotation helps the staff members to increase there respective skills as if the staff members will be working on one seat, they will not be able o learn the various other work and with the help of the job rotation, the staff members become much more equipped in the nature of the working as by moving on various seats and by doing the various work, the staff members get an opportunity to learn the various kinds of the work from the time to time and hence making staff member much more fit for the working in an organisation. Hence the various kinds of the organisations are focussing a lot on the process of the job rotation and have even found the way to get the things back on the track. The staff members of an organisation become very much flexible in the nature of the working as the staff members are now much more adaptive in the nature of doing the different works in an organisation and hence the result of all this is that the staff members are able to adapt to the various kinds of the changes in an organisation that are actually a part and the parcel of the working of an organisation and the result of this that the staff members becoming flexible in the nature makes the organisation as well flexible in the nature.

Also there are times when the staff member working at a specific seat or work is not available due to the various kinds of the reasons, in the normal scenario others will not be knowing his or her work and the result of all this will be that the specific work of that seat will surely suffer but the job rotation is in fact the answer to all this as with the help of the job rotation the staff members get an opportunity to know the work of the other seats as well and in such kind of the situations, it becomes easy for the others to accept the challenge and not allow the work to suffer and take care of that particular seat as well and this helps the organisation to service the people at the new heights as the customers are not faced with any kind of the challenges and are able to go through all of the affairs in the usual manner. The various kind of the research work that has been done in the various parts of the world from the time to time by the various scientists and the researchers clarify the point that the process of the job rotation also acts as a very good source of the training as the staff members get an opportunity to learn the various kinds of the things from time to time and get the more number of the chances to get equipped. The experience of the staff members get a huge kind of the boost and the staff members are able to present themselves in a much better way as they are now more prepared for the various kinds of the challenges that come from the time to time in an organisation. The process of the job rotation is also referred to as the part of the training process at the ground level as it helps the staff members to learn the different types of the work from the time to time while being on the duty in an organisation. Like the two sides of the coin, there are also some of the drawbacks of the process of the job rotation and along with the benefits, it is also very necessary to have an in depth analysis of the disadvantages of the things as with the help of this, the drawbacks can be decreased and the advantages can be increased. As discussed above the staff members are periodically moved from one work to the other but no doubt it reduces the burden but at times it has been observed that the quality of the work is also disturbed as the flow of the staff members in doing the certain kind of the work is disrupted and the result of all this is that the new person that comes in to the picture takes some kind of the time to adjust to the things and this can have the certain kind of the affects on the time factor and the quantity factor and at times in fact the parameter of the quality comes in to the picture. This is the part of the human nature as there are times when the human beings are not ready to accept the changes even at times when the same may be there for the respective benefits and the result of all this is that when one staff member is moved from one work to the other, it becomes difficult at times and the work is affected for the certain span of the time. There are times when the certain staff members who are willing to work at a certain specific position are as a part of the job rotation moved from that place of there interest to the other spots of the working in an organisation, the result of all this is that the staff members of an organisation may loose the interest in the working and may feel demotivated in the nature of the working as there can be times the less deserving people come at the certain positions as a part of the process of the job rotation, which are not totally deserved by them.

The people who are very ambitious in the nature of the working in an organisation and at the same time are very much concerned of the shaping of there respective future are the part of the people who may go down in the scale of the motivation and the ambitions as they are affected by such kind of the movement in an organisation that is done as a part of the job rotation. Not only the affects are on the staff members of an organisation but the affects are also seen on the organisation as a whole as in the whole of this process, the parameter of the training also comes in to the picture and it is such a kind of the process that affects the organisation economically as well. When the staff members are moved from one seat to the other, it takes some time to learn the various kinds of the things and the organisation also has a role to play as the organisation needs to start the process of the training with the help of the special trainer for this regard or taking the help of the any senior and the experienced staff member of an organisation. So in the other words it can be said that is very possible that the process of the job rotation may affect the expenses of an organisation as well. There are times when the organisation just follows the rules of the process of the job rotation by moving the staff from one position to the other but a lot of the times there are such kind of the scenarios when the inappropriate persons are found such things they are actually opposite to and this affects the whole team and the organisation as a whole. Such kind of the rotation policy was also observed in the cricket team of the Australia as there was a time the team was doing a great job for the nation and as each and every player of the team was performing up to the mark, there came a time when there was no opportunity for the cricket board of the Australia to test the new talent and make the replacements ready when ever the situation demanded. Looking in to all of these things, the cricket board of Australia decided to rotate the players as per the policy and there were times when the player who was performing very well was removed from the team for certain number of the matches to make the way for the new players and all this was done as a result of the rotation policy that was brought in to the picture as a result of the needs felt by the cricket board of the nation. But there was seen that at some times this decision looked foolish as the team started loosing and the player who made a hundred in the last match was compelled to sit out side affecting the form and the flow of the player and as a whole affecting the whole team as the balance of the whole team was affected a lot and it was the clear example that the policy is very good but must not be tried as a rule and the regulation as when ever the situation demands the policy can be initiated but when the things are going on fine for the team, the balance must not be affected as it will make the things worse in the nature of the working in an organisation so policies come but there proper utilisation is also very critical in the nature of the working in an organisation.

In an organisation, there are a large number of the staff members who are coming from the different kind of the backgrounds having the different kind of the intelligent quotient with the different types of the educational backgrounds and the result of all this is that the style of the working of each and every staff member of an organisation is different in some way or the other. There are some kind of the staff members who are very willing to accept the different kind of the changes that may come in there respective ways from the time to time but at the same time there are the certain type of the staff members in an organisation who are not willing to accept the changes and are satisfied with the position they are working at and are not thinking of moving any further in the graph of the growth and the development and also in the case of the learning curve. In the case of the job rotation, the staff members are moved from one place to the other and here the people who are very motivated and at the same time very ambitious in the nature of the working are willing to move in the case of the job rotation and the studies have revealed that only such kind of the staff members are able to survive and grow as the other are not fit under such kind of the process. All the staff members in an organisation are quite different from each other and there are some people who are having the experience and there are some who are having the expertise in the certain kind of the working and there are some of the staff members who are possessing the certain kind of the skills but one thing that is not common in all of them is the presence of the desire of learning more and more of the things and this factor makes a lot of the difference. A research was conducted in the regard of the staff members in the various kinds of the staff members in the case of the developed countries and the developing countries and the under developed countries. The results that came out were very shocking as the difference in the growth was in fact the result of the public who was working in the nation as there were a large number of the people who were sitting at the same place of the work and at the same level of the hierarchy as they were not thinking of any kind of the growth but at the same time there were certain kind of the staff members as well who were always thinking of the growth directly or indirectly and the research work showed the results that said that the people were actually the face of the countries and all this was the result of the normal public only that some of the nations grow and some are left behind in this same world. There were times when the process of the job rotation was considered as the process that may help a lot in carrying out the drastic kind of the increase in the level of the motivation in the staff members of an organisation but this is not the case in the process of the job rotation as the motivation can not be permanent in the case of the job rotation as in the next step the seat will again be changed as a result of the job rotation. When the process of the job rotation is initiated, there are chances that the staff members may be motivated to a certain level for the certain period of the time but at the same time it is also very much possible that the other staff member may not be motivated as he or she may not be interested in being moved from one place to the other. So it can be said that there are a lot of the advantages of this process in an organisation but at the same time there are also some kind of the drawbacks of the same and all of these need to be looked in to so that these can be made as the positive points for the staff members of an organisation and also for the organisation as a whole. The level of the satisfaction of the staff members is not affected that much in the cases where the structure of the jobs is such that the same is not that appealing and also at the same time is not that interesting that it may have the power to affect the working of the staff members and also have a affect on the morale and the level of the satisfaction of the staff members in an organisation. The various kinds of the research work that has been done in the various parts of the world by the various researchers very clearly suggest that the job enlargement and the job rotation have been seen to having the same kind of the results and the affects on the working of the staff members in an organisation and with the respective uses depending on the kind of the organisations and its working it is very necessary to understand the scenario of the working in the organisation and in aspect of all these things it is required to carry on with the plan. In an organisation it is very necessary to know the various things and then analyse that what is going wrong in the whole process of the working and then according to that one must try to understand the reason behind the same and then only the solution must be analysed and then only one must proceed as any process like the job rotation must not be carried out without any proper use and must not be initiated just as a reason that the same has to be done.
