do you think that job rotation would increase commitment?give reason for your answer (whether you say yes/no?

Answer 1

In today's current society I would say that job rotation does not increase employee commitment for a few reasons.

1) Most jobs have nuances that can't be done well on rotational basis. (effects of the learning curve)

2) Not every person is flexible enough to be made to learn a variety of tasks that they may not be suited to. ( May induce performance stress)

3) Employee may begin to feel more like a cog in the machine than having a specific identity. (disconnect to the task)

4) The employee will feel like the advantage for job rotation will be with the employer ( Timing & duration of rotation, fairly used on everyone, punitive use, put employee in danger of demonstrating low performance on a ill-fitting task)

Answer 2

No, not even in the least. When someone is hired, they are hired for one specific job. After a time-frame a person gets good, sometimes perfect at their job, so why send them off to another department and have someone come along and screw up all the hard work of someone else.

I think people would quit jobs if they were unsure what they were walking into every morning.
