Chapter 3 in New Challenges for European Human Resource Management, 2000, pp 56-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter the topic of job rotation will be dealt with in three steps. It is first necessary to give an introduction to the field of labour flexibility, define the term job rotation, and distinguish it from other forms of flexibility. Secondly, the relevance of job rotation in European companies will be looked at. The third step will be a statistical analysis of whether job rotation in European enterprises tends more to represent a solitary short-term instrument or whether on the other hand the implementation of job rotation is accompanied by a more long-term oriented integration of personnel strategies.
