| Abstract: | The study includes the internal career mobility of all employees who started their management careers in a single large public utility company during a ten-year period. The present findings suggest that the job experiences an organization creates in a manager's early jobs have strong signaling effects. Clearly, starting a career as a trainee or in a high-power department propelled managers to move faster along the path of higher career mobility and salary progression than managers who did not have the benefits of these early experiences. Research knowledge of the career tournament effects that can be attributed to organizational experiences is expanded. |
