The research performed by
Eriksson, T and Ortega, J (2006) shown that application of job rotation helps
both employee and the employer. Employee learnt how to work by doing themselves
with the working in more than one department or section, it makes easier to get
the knowledge and skills related to many areas of the company (Bennett, 2003 as
cited Kaymaz, K. 2010). Job rotation makes individuals in different functional
areas more associated. This also offers people with a better idea on the other
section of the business. Therefore, the more job rotation, the greater harmony
is created between workers, which effects the clarification of information and
provides a drive for organizational learning. (Weerd-NederHof et al, 2002 as cited
Kaymaz, K. 2010).
