As skill requirements are shifting, management may not always need to assume the responsibility for people. The underlying argument is that, because minority groups may hold a variety of skills (some of which are extremely valuable) they can perhaps be hired through a contracting organization to meet immediate staffing needs, without having to hire full-time employees. Job hopping has the potential to become a very desirable mode of work for some employees such as those with high professional profiles or those who have no desire for continuous employment. For instance the brighter, better educated and more innovative professionals may develop and experience the urge to move ahead a lot faster. Downsizing has tended to lead firms to reduce the competent and professionally qualified as well as the less competent and less qualified. In this respect,job-hopping seems to be a convenient and suitable alternative,particularly for those individuals with a greater need for personal control.
