Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers.
What is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees
themselves? A more globalized economy has had effect on employment. A large number of
companies are now international, and one of them may decide that moving in offices from Germany
to Poland, for example, is in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany
may be asked to relocate their families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply
eliminated.
New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers
has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own word processing and
letter writing. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing
factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few.
Today's employees are also responsible for more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were
less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied with working conditions or because
they didn't get along well with their fellow employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and
to get a high degree of personal satisfaction from what they do for a living.
Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can learn from their current
job. Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contacts, and these skills and
relationships could bring them a step closer to their "dream job," the one that is challenging
emotionally and financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school.
Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who
suspect that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the
company closes its doors.
