Description
Job hopping has become prevalent amongst Zimbabwean university lecturers. The study seeks
to identify a solution to job hopping amongst academics. The investigation was aimed at
understanding causes, impact and solutions to job hopping of lecturers in the Zimbabwean
universities. The investigation employs qualitative methodologies and uses data saturation to
determine sample size. Poor remuneration, lack of resources, work pressure, red tape and lack
of career growth were found to be causes of job hopping amongst lecturers in Zimbabwean
universities. Brain drain, poor quality of graduates, increased workload, recruitment and
administration costs and unfilled posts were found to be negative impacts of job hopping of
lecturers in the Zimbabwean universities. Competitive remuneration, mentoring, decreasing
workload, flexible work arrangements, provision of resources, career growth and adoption of organic structures were found to be solutions to job hopping amongst lecturers in Zimbabwean
universities
