Organizational Promotion and Career Satisfaction
The relationship between organizational promotion and career satisfaction was investigated. Questionnaire data were obtained from 190 administrative employees in two universities in the northwest of England. The significant difference in career satisfaction between the two samples disappeared when statistical control for number of promotions was imposed. Further, number of promotions was the only variable which accounted for a significant amount of variance in career satisfaction. The implications of the results for organisations and the limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions for research are made.
