Normally employees in Govt. sectors are stable and work less. However, in private organization employees do more and hard work. Satisfaction and stability depends on their peers. One indicator could be the college/institution the employee is coming. Because of the network they have , students from good colleges want to reach a place they like.

There may be several indicators for measuring the stability of job seekers it depends on the objectives. Some of them  may be: The job satisfaction,  their qualifications matching with  the job, Organizational environment, organisational management  strategies, fulfilling their aspirations,  avenues for their employment, work alotment- whether it si matching with their qualification and expertise etc.

Emotional IQ Testing is becoming associated with stability indicators.  I will follow-up on the reply soon.

Hello All,

Thank you for your valuable comments and suggestion.

@Mr R C Mittal and Mr Barsati Lal--Sir while i agree with the some of the indicators you have mentioned for finding stability indicator, don't you think that certain factors like macro and micro economic factors; like introduction of new form of economy for eg the one India witnessed after 1991 which lead to growth of IT sector and we saw even doctors and lawyers going for IT industry careers, BPO jobs. So should not these be taken into consideration..

@Dr. Field---Please see check this link  http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/aug/08/recruitment-industry-set-for-big-data-revolution

It clearly points out that you can game psychometrics. So can we just rely on testing or a more comprehensive\holistic model need to be developed to tackle this problem.

Looking forward for your valuable feedbacks.

Thanks and regards,

What do you mean by stability of job seekers?Do you mean how long they stay after they are recruited?

@Artemis-That is right. 

Then wouldn't a measure of tenure be sufficient?  

Are you looking for indicators, which means how you measure stability, or are you looking for predictors?

many industry professional bodies publish indicator informations, if you are looking for information about predictors, you may find some useful information in our old paper published in the conference proceeding below.

I did did a paper on this a long time ago. The short version appear of this is in the conference proceedings. I hope you find this useful.

@Artemis --I am looking for predictors using data of existing  employees.....Can you please share the link of the information you have mentioned..

Search for my name in the conference proceeding.
