This created a higher level of commitment to the employer by the employee as there was a greater expectation to remain with the  firm for longer. However this has changed; there is an increasing level of temporary and part time employment (Haralambos and Holborn, 2004). This may be seen as lead by  the employers who have needed to cut costs and increase flexibility. A large number of motivation models will indicate that were employees  feel there is less commitment towards themselves they will react; with less commitment and loyalty. This has created a commercial environment where employees to not expect to stay and where  there is a greater advantage to employees in moving between employers. This his a scenario that has been created by employers as much as the employees, who not only require  flexibility but has also adapted recruitment strategies in order to maximize the resources they have, taking advantage of employees who have gained experience and skills elsewhere (Huczynski and Buchanan, 2007).
