Impact of Career Growth on Employee Job Hopping with Moderating Role of Job Security

Abstract

This study investigates the impact and connection between Career Growth (CG) and Job Hopping (JH) in banking industry. Quantitative research is conducted through a 28 items questionnaire. 300 employees from banking industry are taken as sample out of which 290 replied completely to the questionnaire. Correlation and Regression are measured to assess the collected data. This research also shows the moderation impact of employee Job Security between Career Growth and Job Hopping. We used Job Security (JS) as a moderating variable along with its two different dimension i.e. Affective Job Security (AJS) and Cognitive Job Security (CJS) in the assembly of Career Growth and Job Hopping as independent and dependent variables respectively. The results indicate that CG has direct positive impact on JH as our first hypothesis has been accepted. AJS moderated more as compared to CJS. It proved that JS’s both dimensions play vital role. It has been sorted out that in order to reduce the JH in companies, CG must be dealt with full attention by HR department with a moderating role of employee’s AJS and CJS as well. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is used for data analysis
