The Employability Market Orientation (EMO) model, a comprehensive approach to personal marketing, goes beyond traditional methods and includes a questionnaire for its assessment. This model empowers employees to behave like micro-entrepreneurs, enhancing their employability, marketability, and job security. However, this proactive attitude can lead to lower employee loyalty and commitment, presenting challenges for HR specialists. To address these effects, the book offers a solution through the EMO questionnaire, enabling them to diagnose such attitudes.

This book serves as a valuable guide for readers navigating the evolving labor market, where life-long employment is becoming a thing of the past. It encourages a proactive mindset from both employees and employers, fostering a culture of adaptability and resilience. What sets this book apart is its focus on employees who can embrace change rather than becoming victims of flexible human resource management practices. The writing is objective, supported by robust research with advanced statistical analysis, making it an invaluable resource for researchers in management, labor markets, career counseling, sociology, and work psychology.

The book explores proposed indicators of imprecise concepts like mobility and professional flexibility, which are crucial in understanding the dynamics of the modern workplace. These concepts will aid scholars in conducting research on emerging phenomena and developing theories of modern organizations characterized by disappearing borders and transactional relationships. By embracing the EMO model and utilizing the provided tools, HR specialists can develop effective strategies to mitigate the consequences of retention and create a more sustainable and competitive workforce.
