Abstract

Managing human resources, like other resources is primarily a line management responsibility. Demands have however grown in this area as other resource management areas, and staff functions have emerged and expanded to aid management. Top organizational management continues to provide far reaching policies and philosophies relating to human resource matters and participates in decisions and negotiations having broad long range impact on the direction of the organization's management of human resources. Employee burnout is gaining increasing recognition as one of the factors that hamper the achievement of efficiency from employees. Employee burnout is particularly associated diminishing interests and emotional exhaustion on the part employees because of serving in particular organizational positions for longer than necessary. This business research proposal delves into various aspects of organizational management that are designed to ensure the minimization of employee burnout, with particular emphasis to the rationale of half yearly rotation of assignments as a strategic approach for reducing employee burnout.
