A study of the influence of promotions on promotion satisfaction and expectations of future promotions among managers

Abstract

Abstract The influence of past promotions on the promotion outcomes of satisfaction with promotion magnitude, opportunity, policies and practices, and expectations of future promotions are studied for managers. Data collected from and analyzed for 183 male and female managers in organizations across the United States reveal a significant positive relationship between the number of previous promotions awarded to managers by the employing organization and the satisfaction with promotion magnitude, opportunity, and policies and practices. The data further reveal a significant positive relationship between the number of prior promotions received within management and the manager's expectations of future promotions from the employing organization. The findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical significance for the field of human resource development.
