Job-based system helps organizations design and establish sets of human resources management(HRM) practices and programs, while job-based system reinforces rigidity and top-down approaches in HRM. In the face of rapidly changing business environment, it is necessary for companies to transfer job responsibilities and tasks of workers. The current study examines the effect of job-based system on the job transfer of workers, which is expected to provide implications about HRM adaptability to changing business environments. The statistical results of the present study show that the effects of job-based system on job transfer of administrative workers interact with HRD programs. Thus, for administrative worker career management, companies have to explore ways to integrate job-based system with HRD programs. The implication of the current study is to elaborate the effect of job-based system on job transfers by investigating associated variables such as HRD programs.
