Abstract

• This study aims to analyze the effect of job mobility on the working life of private bank managers and to examine the effects of occupational mobility on the working life of private bank managers. Job-to-job mobility and occupational mobility are used to measure the effects of job mobility of private bank managers in Myanmar. Primary data were collected from 321 managers of private banks in Myanmar which have at least ten years of working experience in the selected private banks by using a structured questionnaire For job-to-job mobility, the study found that most of the bank managers’ job tenure is less than 6 years and the average job duration is between 1 to 6 years. The analysis revealed that job tenure has a significant positive effect on working life. The longer the job tenure, the better the working conditions of the surrounding environment. Concerning the effect of occupational mobility on working life, the results demonstrate that job level change has a positive effect on working life. However, the results show that organizational changes have a significant negative effect on working life. The private banks need to increase the job tenure of private bank managers and reduce organizational changes by taking necessary measures.
