Abstract
Introduction: Employees are placed in various job rotations between two or more tasks or vocations at regular intervals to ensure that they are exposed to all elements of the company. Job rotation is a methodical approach that permits employees to avoid boredom while also allowing them to develop and grow. Both management and personnel objectives are met with this strategy. It aids in the identification of employee potential and abilities. Through job rotation, employees are exposed to all aspects of the company. Employee abilities and competencies are evaluated ahead of time to ensure that the employee is deployed in the best possible position. However, it does permit the pursuit of personal interests while gaining practical knowledge in a variety of industries or processes. The present study was undertaken with an aim to assess the effect of job rotation on the nursing staff in a private hospital of Vadodara. Methodology: The study was cross-sectional in nature where the perception of the nursing staff was gathered through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed the perception of the staff on a five point likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The sample size of the study was 126. Mann Whitney Test and Kruskal Wallis test was used to assess the effect of job rotation with respect to gender and age, years of experience respectively. The statistical analysis was undertaken at 95% confidence level with statistical significance at a p value of less than 0.05. Results: The results depicted that there was no difference in the perception towards effect of job rotation with respect to gender and age group. However, with respect to job rotation not interrupting the employees’ work life and no effect on personal life, there was statistical significant difference with respect to the years of experience of the nursing staff as the p value was less than 0.05. Conclusion: Job rotation, in their opinion, causes frequent interruptions in both the job and personal life of those who participate in it. The nurses working in the hospital came up with appropriate job rotation ideas that took into consideration their age and years of experience. It appears that most of the criteria indicate that the nursing staff members were satisfied with their job rotation, which lends support to the findings of the study.
