The Structure of Opportunity: How Promotion Ladders Vary within and among Organizations.

Baron, James N.; And Others

Administrative Science Quarterly, v31 n2 p248-73 Jun 1986

Data describing jobs in 100 establishments are analyzed to test hypotheses about the characteristics of jobs and organizations associated with the structure of internal promotion ladders. Hypotheses are supported that link job ladders to, for example, organizational structure, gender distinctions, and technology. The formation of promotion ladders is examined. (CJH)
