I dont know why any employee is not given pay rise only until he gets another high pay offer from another company. Suddenly he also receives an offer equivalent or higher pay by his company to stay back. Here frequently employees have the question that why his current company is ready to give such a rise which he was never offered earlier.
Reasons for job change differs from person to person, but most important is a higher salary/benefits.
Employees are compelled to hop jobs because of the following reasons:
1) Rising expenses and inflation
2) Increase of Dependents - children & their education fees, old parents & their decreasing health and increasing medicinal costs.
3) Home loan or any other liability and many more ...
Many a times a person has to leave a job which he is loving just because he is not getting enough compensation, but at the same time he has to fulfil his family's demands, his own wishes and to secure his future.
Now a days, it is compulsary for any employee to change at least 5-9 jobs before he gets a stable life-long job where he can work till the time he retires. Please do not deny this fact as employees change at least 4-7 jobs on an average, because I have seen not one, but several resumes and profiles on Linkedin.com where employees have worked in 8 companies in 10 years and by inside information, we get to know that they have joined with a whopping salary package. Are these people called "Job Hoppers"? No, infact companies call them people with "A Rich Job Experience".
Yes, it is definitely called a Rich Job Experience because he has proved that:
1) He is versatile and can adjust anything like shifts, long hours, work on holidays, or any job location.
2) He accepts every challenge, environment & every situation.
3) He has worked on all different designations throughtout.
4) He has been given good pay rise on every job change by every company which means he is performing decently well.
5) He is a responsible employee / manager who is reporting manager for a team of his subordinates.
On the other hand where there is a loyal employee who is working since last 15yrs or 25yrs in the same company which might be his 2nd or 3rd job in life, but who only gets a fraction of those who have had several job hops. Employees who remain loyal to the company are punished by not being given enough pay rise even though they get good designation
Staying in the same company for 3 yrs means stagnation and companies think that such employees are not so talented, lazy to do a job change or have lost their demand so they do not get any new job.
Clearly, job hoppers only seem climb the corporate ladder faster and also win in the short term and long term as compared to loyal and stable ones. No wonder why do interviewers ask silly questions like "Why do you want a job change".

Yes Of course interesting topic great idea>>>
Employers will never hike the present employee salary because its quiet human nature because you never prefer to go outing in you location especially the same if you get some good suggestions/Advise/Guidance from our own family/friends/Relatives we never even try to hear it the same applies in the corporate world they lack the trust (Confidence)in the present employee because the employers have a rough assumption saying these stay in the same circle.... Think Ahead ALL we have this attitude.....
AS you rightly said the job hoppers get more and more opportunities when compared to the loyal ones because the employers see how smart the candidates and they look in the candidates to pay them lump sum on their present salary and say these new joiners are Talented comparing to the person who gets relieved because to compromise them selves and peers stating they are so talented they worked in xyz Companies..... and achieved blab......
Interviewers look for the smart reply from the candidates
90% candidates change the job due to salary the rest due to the boss, company closed, internal politics, Management change...
this question is common the interviewers look for smart answers from the candidates so they really are aware of the present scenario they expect smart answers from the candidates because this answer is foremost important in any Interviews....
