Stability of Tenure of Personnel

Stability of Tenure of Personnel

 

Principle of stability is linked with long tenure of personnel in the organization. This means production being teamwork, an efficient management always builds a team of good workers. If the members of the team go on changing the entire process of production, it will be disturbed. It is always in the interest of the enterprise that its trusted, experienced and trained employees do not leave the organization. Stability of job creates a sense of belongingness among workers who with this feeling are encouraged to improve the quality and quantity of work.

When one feels secure at his job, he/she contributes maximum of his capability towards the organizational objectives. Stability also helps the employee to know each and every aspect of the job with the passage of time which consequently helps in performing the job with greater efficiency and minimum wastage. It creates a sense of belonging-ness towards the job and the organization.

 

An organization following the principle of stability achieves its objectives effectively and efficiently with the maximum contribution from their employees. The employees of such organization always feel satisfied and thus are the productive factor for the organization. But if this principle is violated i.e. if the employees are frequently transferred from one position to another or employee turnover, they will feel dissatisfied and will not perform with their full potential leading to non-achievement of the organizational objectives or under utilization of resources as well as wastage.

• Employees satisfaction.
• Better accountability.

Consequences of violation of this principle:

• Non-achievement of the organizational objectives
