The employee development was then measured through seven items which were derived from various articles. On a five-point scale, ranging from 1 to 5, (where 1= strongly disagree) and (5= strongly agree). Job rotation is operationalized as the perceptions of interests in these developments as well as the competences acquired from the job rotation. In another phase, job rotation was evaluated with 18 items retrieved from the past publications where all of the 18 items were consequently measured with a five-point scale similar to the one that was used for the employee development. In total, there were 25 items in the questionnaire and using the five-point Likert Scale. Just as the thumb rule stipulates, 1:5 ratio for every item, there should be 5 respondents (Schyns, & Von Collani, 2002). Therefore, since there were a total of 25 items the number of the workers that were given the questionnaire was 125. The study mainly dwelled on the past research and was tailored in relation to the objectives of the research question. Consequently, the study utilized the Statistical Package for Social Science
