Abstract:
The present research was set to explore the effect of rotation, transfer and promotion on the employee morale, both simultaneously and partially. The respondents of the research consisted of 83 people and the data were collected by a questionnaire. The data were analyzed with multiple linear regressions using SPSS 17.00 for windows.
The results show that rotation, transfer and promotion simultaneously and partially had significant effects on the employee morale; whereas, the most dominant variable on the morale was promotion.
The research implication was that the employee morale was already good but not shown by all the employees so that some attentions were still necessary, especially in the work morale. The implementation of rotation periodically on each unit and employee, besides being able to reduce the saturation, can also be used as a cross-training for institutions to maximize the capabilities and skills of the employees. Meanwhile, the pattern of transfers is still considered by employees not so satisfactory due to the lack of individual preparedness of the employees. In addition, institutions are not preparing employees to be transferred to the new place. Subsequently, the promotion should be implemented in a more objective and transparent ways.
