Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationships between learning opportunities, person-organization fit, self-directedness career attitude and job hopping among generation Y employees in Malaysian small medium enterprise (SME) service sectors.
Design/methodology/approach
Research data was gathered from a sample of 203 generation Y employees from SME service sectors in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modelling is used to perform the data analysis in the present study.
Findings
The results demonstrated that person-organization fit and self-directedness career attitude correlates significantly with job hopping among generation Y employees. However, there is no significant relationship between learning opportunities and job hopping.
Research limitations/implications
This study provides an empirical framework for explaining the job hopping among generation Y employees in SME service based on the review of related careers.
Originality/value
This study offers new insights into the predicting factors of job hopping among generation Y employees in the Malaysian context specifically.
