Abstract

The job-hopping phenomenon is often associated with the millennial generation and creates stereotypes such as being disloyal, lazy, and many more. This phenomenon potentially creates negative perspectives towards millennials workers. The researchers conducted this study with the aim of understanding more deeply about the views of the millennial generation on the job-hopping phenomenon and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. This research method uses a qualitative approach with thematic analysis methods. The research data were collected from 14 respondents by collecting techniques using in-depth interviews and secondary data. From the processed data that has been obtained, it can be seen that most millennials doing job-hopping have been stereotyped as a generation that is disloyal and has no commitment to the organizations, this treatment is carried out in the workplace and in the family environment. If this stereotype continues, it will have a negative impact on their mental state and the employer's view of their capabilities as employees. The influence of COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to decreased the job-hopping intentions among millennial workers.
