Why Do people change jobs

Yes i totally agree with you srini and have pointed out the same in my post.

company policies are generally not against the employee but most of the times the manager is against the employee so superiors/managers are the reason why most leave their jobs.

Manager Are Real Damagers.... But When They Realise It, Best Of Their Talents Have Left...

people change their joba bcz of their managers,haeassement,complection,salary,ego etc

People leave organization due to their BOSSES. 

People don't change jobs; they change bosses. This is particularly so in the corporate sector where a target-driven boss finds a soft target in a subordinate- if the subordinate is new, even better- and lays the entire blame for non-performance at his door. After all, the boss has greater position power to manipulate higher management.

Mr Darpan I dont know what made you write this and what you have gone through but I must say....... GOOD QUESTION!!!

According to me people leave jobs definitely due to their managers... They are the prime reasons for job change. No one wants to leave a comfortable job and start all over again so easily... According to me it is their managers who make them leave the jobs....

Agree that people leave managers not the company. One of the HR survey finding has given same conclusion. to add the reason , it is observed that managers are biased for race, language,region, caste etc. It happens because of lack of supervision by their bosses on them.  In such organisation, gradually attrition rate goes up.

People argue that family managed organisations are more prone to such practices but this can happen any professionally managed organisations too if professional do not act in professional manner.

Yes Mr. Anup Bagla's argument is right, most of the times it is the behaviour of the Mangers, makes people to look for change either within the organisation under another Manager or change of organisation.

neither due to company policies/wages or managers but because , they cannot adjust / adapt ...

so have no option but to search .. research a new job ..

I do agree that people often change job due to their managers.Actually unless you get the job satisfaction,you cant be in the job for long.And job satisfaction comes from various things like job profile,work environment,relation with the hierarchies and subordinates.So our work appraisement very much depends on our manager.He/she is the one who can motivate our work,who can show new path in professional field,who can give recognition to our work.So either way managers role is significant for being in the same job for long time or looking out for another one.

Due to Managers and changes in company policies.

Most of the times due to behaviour of managers or top levele management people change their jobs frequently

Managers....seems to be main cause being the very first person with whom we remain in touch during working hours..  most frequsnt combination.... a good policy wid bad managers or a bad policy wid bad managers have same terminal effect...... 

There could many reasons in general, but I agreely with you in totality with Ranjith that the points which have been emphasized are straight and open.  Quite knowledge sharing and thought provoking !

Man is not so much put off / down or upset by deficiency in cash or praise or material / tangible things than intangible behaviour (inter-personal understanding)

My experience is due to the non-understanding and difficult Boss or Bosses ... and difficult inter-personal relationships ... and sometimes non-recognition and lack of care, cooperation and support/motivation and also ill-treatment, condemnation (including shoutings, harsh / hurting words, false allegations) and ill-behaviour ...

When we discuss about the reason for an employee leaving an organization, we need to think about certain aspects from the emp's point of view. The reason why he/she works? Why he/she looks out for change? Whether for more salary or for a better job profile or for mal-adaptation with the peers.

If the employee is much keen about the money, then obviously no one could stop his/her switch. Wherein, the reason for job change is for better profile or mal-adaptation with peers or whatsoever, then there comes the vital role of a manager. In such cases, when a manager doesn't play the role which he is supposed to play, then obviously it will drive the employee to move out of the company.

A good manager can contribute to the employee satisfaction eventhough the wages are less. On the other hand, even though the wages are good, it will be difficult to sustain if the manager is not good and supportive. This is because people are working not only for money..

Yes.....Managers may be the cause for this.......coz it is the kind of environment he creates in the department...which too has a major impact on the employees working in that particular department..... 

I think there are usually 3 reasons when people change their job.

(1) work satisfaction (2) salary (3) releationship with managers

I think whenever any two of the three above mentioned reasons are true [generally one becomes primary and the other secondary] people do want to change.....

so it depends on person and orginization collectivly !!!

I appreciate your saying with high dignity. Managers are ones those who know both the sides of the coin though they do not take effective Steps most of the times. If they react honestly keeping Company and GOD in Hearts, The Results may come extraordinary and Superficial. Therefore, the MASTER KEY OF " HONESTY " must be Practiced in all Circumstances by Top Ones.

Behaviour of Senior with their staff without thinking of the impact.

Behaviour of Senior with their staff without thinking of the impact.

When Managers practice Inequality and Injustice in Financial as well as Non Financial matters within Company and between its employees. Than it creates a sense of Insecurity and enforce an employee to change the job.

U hit the nail on the head chief ,and pretty eloquently as well.....

its the goddamn managers always

due to office politics and also personla issues such family needs, and more over   in this world  every thing should grow  in one way or the other, since human being is greedy always, this motivate's to do things differently

Hi Samir,

Yes, it is indeed a precarious situation when there is a friction between the superior and the subordinate as it is not in the intertest of the firm nor in the personal interest of the subordinate. Latter stands to loose too much when left the situation to continue.

Mr.Rakesh i would agree with you that sometimes what happens is employees leave their jobs because of their friction with their managers. If an employee doesn't feel comfortable in interacting with his manager then it is neither good for them and neither will it benefit the organisation. So for the benefit of all there should be healthy relationship between the superiors and their subordinates so that the productivity levels will automatically increase .

What do you say?

Actually bad managers result in less empowerment and recognition for an employee.

i fully agree with you Yash, but unfortunately subordinates doesn't have a right to choose their bosses.but, still if someone has the carefree attitude towards his boss ( not towards his work!) will definetly make the boss himself to go out!!
