Solution

Stablity of personnel- means no frequent change, termination and transfer etc. It means that, in an organisation whenever an employee is appointed for a job, he/she shouldn't be removed from that position frequently. The management of the organisation should ensure that there must be stability in the job and frequent changes and shuffling of position should be avoided.
When one feels secure at his job, he/she contributes maximum of his capability towards the organisational objectives. Stability also helps the employee to know each and every aspect of the job with the passage of time which consequently helps in performing the job with greater efficiency and minimum wastage. It creates a sense of belonging-ness towards the job and the organisation.
