Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate employee’s perceptions of job relocation in Alpha Corp, a government organization with representative office located in all provinces in Indonesia. Despite the utilization of job relocation to improve employee’s work quality and achieving organizational goals, employees might be reluctant to be relocated. In some cases, the reluctance grow into stress that might results to burnout and job dissatisfaction. To investigate employee perception on job relocation, this study utilized qualitative phenomenology approach. Data were obtained from interviews involving 5 participants. Open ended question were asked to the participant to share the story about their job relocation history throughout their career in Alpha Corp. The results demonstrates employees’ awareness on about the consequences of working in Alpha Corp. Although the job relocation’s timing is unpredictable, employees would like the organization to consider the psychological impact for the transferred employees and the family, since frequent adaptations to new local cultures and work environment could lead to burnout and intention to quit from the organization. Other implication for managerial practice were discussed.
