According to Dale Yoder “A transfer involves the shifting of an employee from one job to another without special reference to change in responsibilities or compensation”. Usually transfer takes place between jobs paying approximately the same salaries. A slight change in responsibilities, duties and pay increase may also take place occasionally.
Transfer should be distinguished from promotion. “A transfer involves a change of job without any significant increase in responsibility or income and a promotion involves a change in which a significant increase in responsibility or income occurs
The following factors are mainly responsible for transfer:
(a) The demand of manpower in a department may increase or decrease resulting into surpluses or shortage of personnel. If a machine breaks down, its employees will have to be transferred to some other machines in the same department or may be in some other department.
(b) A transfer may be at the request of an employee. It may be on the health grounds, family circumstances, lack of interest in the job etc. A faulty selection procedure may be responsible for such transfers.(c) Employees may be transferred for imparting training to them.(d) In certain departments, transfers are made as a policy matter after an employee stays on the job for certain number of years in one area.(e) Transfers may also be made for increasing efficiency of the employee.A transfer is an important source of internal recruitment.
