Organizational performance as an antecedent of inside-outside chief executive succession: an empirical assessment

Article Abstract:

A study of all New York Stock Exchange listed corporations that have experienced turnover in their chief executive officers (CEOs) within one year indicated that insiders were chosen by the full range of firms measured either by common stock performance or return on equity criteria. Insiders, however, were only chosen by corporations falling in the mid-range of either performance criterion, seemingly contradicting the hypothesis of the authors and popular perceptions. The absence of outside CEOs in poorly performing firms may be the result of outsider reluctance to be associated with an ailing firm.

Clerical employees' perceptions of intraorganizational career opportunities

Article Abstract:

Perceived ease of movement within an organization is related to job tenure and age. Employees with short tenure and young age perceived their career chances within an organization to be very good, if they are receiving feedback from supervisors. The study was conducted in two places, a large university and a state agency, with a total of 2,776 questionnaires analyzed. The responses revealed that age and perceived ease of movement are directly related. Surprising was the lack of relationship between organizational policy on vacancies and perceived ease of movement.
