Development and fairness of career opportunities and its impact on commitment and trust

Zaleska, K J and Gratton, L (2000) Development and fairness of career opportunities and its impact on commitment and trust. Working Paper. London Business School Centre for Organisational Research Working Paper.

Abstract

This research examines whether the relationship between the role of different practices in development of employees and their commitment and trust are mediated by perceptions of discrimination and non-performance mobility channels in career opportunities. Using a sample of 1592 employees of different age, gender and tenure from 7 different organisations this study tests for mediator effects using hierarchical regression. The results suggest that perceptions of unfairness do not mediate such relationships. Further analyses indicated that older employees were found to be more sensitive to perceived barriers in career opportunities in contrast to younger employees. This implies that for late career employees non-discriminatory procedures of policies of career management are crucial in maintaining their level of organisational commitment and trust.
