In many cases senior managers seem unwilling to risk instability in their units by moving
qualified people from jobs where the lower level manager is being successful and
reflecting positively on the actions of the senior manager. Many military jobs use the job
rotation strategy to allow the soldiers to develop a wider range of experiences, and an
exposure to the different jobs of an occupation. Whilst there is relatively little research
undertaken in this area a prospective emancipator action research study has been on-
going in north west London health services for several years, the research papers can be
found on - www.nurserotation.com. The work has been undertaken by Patrick Coyne, Dr.
Ricky Leacock, Prof. Buchan and Jane Ball, with the local health communities. A meta-
evaluation of the research and the development of a global model of job rotation is being
completed at this point by Patrick Coyne.
Secondary objective:-
Significance. We will come to know about the important factors of job orientation that
affects women workers and will come to know what improvements we should make for
the satisfaction of women workers. But before proceeding to know what techniques we
used for job rotation in organization we must know what job rotation basically is.
Job rotation. Job rotation involves systematically moving employees from one job to
another.
Example. A head of an educational institute give an order to take to every class to the
administrator of institute, then administrator make date sheet and give to clerk to print out
and clerk print it and give to peon to put the notice board. That the job so not change but
instead workers move from job to job.

Questionnaires.
Closed Ended.
Closed ended or structural questionnaire would consist of a lost of predetermined
concrete questions and a choice of possible answers indicating the respondent’s replies
with yes or no or multiple choice. This would be helpful in having a standardized
response which is quantities i.e. verifiable and comparable.
Interviewing
Face to face interview with women workers would be conducted to collect data which
helps organization to find out which position is suitable for women workers.
Observation.
The second important step is to observe women workers while working in
workplace find out the problems which helps organization to remove deficiencies in
women workers.

Validation.
A panel of professional judges would help in validation of instrumental aspects of
questionnaire on the basis of which the research and data collection would take place.
2. Theoretical Framework:
After analyzing the Pakistan’s energy shortages and their different reasons for these
shortages the following variables were identified.
Inventory of Variables:
Dependent Variable:

H0: Huge Deficit in Budget causes of job rotation in BDA (Balochistan Development
Authority) office
2. Alternative Hypothesis:
H1: Huge Deficit in Budget causes of job rotation in BDA (Balochistan Development
Authority) office
METHOD Measurement
To measure the two dependent variables (i.e., job satisfaction and training
evaluation), this study used scales similar to the questionnaire originally
designed for a multinational research project of international human
resource management For the independent variable (i.e., job rotation), a
dichotomous variable was created to measure whether employees perceived
their companies as practicing job rotation. Seven control variables were
also used in this study: job interval, age, gender, education, seniority,
position, and salary.
Job satisfaction. Respondents indicated the degree to which they were
satisfied with the following seven factors: the job itself, supervisor,
organization, pay, promotion, job security, and career opportunities at their
current job. A five point scale was used: 1(not at all), 2(to a small extent),
3(to a moderate extent), 4(to a large extent) and 5(to a great extent). Item
responses were added up for a composite satisfaction score. Actual scores
ranged from 7 to 35. Cronbach alpha for these seven items was 0.86.
Training Evaluation. There were ten items used to evaluate training; they
were: “to provide a reward to employees,” “to improve technical job
abilities,” “to improve employees’ interpersonal abilities,” “to remedy
employees’ past poor performance,” “to prepare employees for future job
assignments,” “to build teamwork within the company.” “to provide
substantial training when employees first start working in the company,”
“to help employees understand the business,” “to provide employees with
the skills needed to do a number of different jobs,” “to teach employees
about the company’s values and ways of doing things.” A five-point scale
used: 1(not at all), 2(to a small extent), 3(to a moderate extent), 4(to a large
extent) and 5(to a great extent). Item responses were totaled for a composite
training evaluation score. Actual scores ranged from 10 to 50. Cronbach
alpha for these ten items was 0.92.
Job rotation. After given the definition of job rotation as the lateral
transfer of employees among a number of different positions without
changes in hierarchy and salary, respondents were asked: “Does your
company practice job rotation?” A positive answer was coded as 1 and a
negative answer was coded as 0.
Job interval. Respondents were asked: “On average how long you would
stay in one position before possibly transferred to another position in your
company?” The answers were coded in terms of number of year.
Age. Coded as 1(less than 30), 2(30-39), 3(40-49), 4(50-59), 5(over 60).
Gender. Females were coded as 0 and males as 1.
Education. Coded in terms of the number of year the respondents had spent
in school(s).
Seniority. The number of year employees has worked for the companies.
The answers ranged from 1 to 34.
Position. Non-managerial positions were coded as 0 while managerial
positions coded as 1.
Data Collection
From the list of the Balochistan development authority largest offices of
Quetta which as more then 600 employs this office were selected based on
not only the useful connection the author has with them so that someone
can help distribute and collect the questionnaires, but also the balanced
profile of the companies in terms of location and industry. A total of 20
anonymous questionnaires were randomly distributed within those
organizations. Respondents were assured that their participation would be
kept confidential. A total of 600 employees responded, representing a
response rate of 52.2 percent. Out of the 600 questionnaires returned, 48%
were usable

Data Analysis
Multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the influences of job
rotation practices on employees’ job satisfaction and training evaluation.
Specifically, hierarchical regression was used to evaluate the extent to
which job rotation adds in terms of variance explained.. job satisfaction
and training evaluation models, all the control variables entered and then
the variable of job rotation was added.
Research Design:
Classification of research:
In my research the purpose of study would be descriptive and also quantitative because
substantial information is known about situation and hand on how this particular issue
have been solved in past.

Other Techniques for Job Rotation
Job Characteristic Approach.
An alternative that suggest that jobs of women should diagnosed and improved
along five care dimensions taking into accounts and both the works system and employee
preferences.
a. Skill variety.
b. Tasks identity.
c. Task significance.
d. Autonomy.
e. Feedback.
Data Analysis.
a. Presentation.
Finally the data can be analyzed by experts through presentation.
b. Statistical Analysis.
Statistical Analysis would be done by using the indices of memories of central
tendency, dispersion and other as desired by the data.
Delimitations.
The study is delimited to improve the working condition of women workers in
work place through job rotations.
