Abstract
Job-hopping is growing at a phenomenal rate amongst the newest cohort to enter the workforce and it comes with great consequences for organisations all over the world. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between flexibility and autonomy at work, organizational commitment, psychological safety, and job-hopping motives in a sample population of Generation Z and first jobbers in Bangkok, Thailand. This study uses a cross-sectional correlational design to investigate these relationships and to find significance in their interactions. Data was collected through online surveys and was analysed through regression and sequential mediation analysis. Results reveal that flexibility and autonomy at work and organizational commitment had a positive association with job-hopping motives. Psychological safety was negatively associated with organizational commitment. These findings will be useful for organisations and HR consultants in Bangkok in helping them to understand how certain psychological factors can help retain these young adults as they help them find fulfilling and satisfying careers.
