Effects of Career Plateauing on Turnover: A Test of a Model

an article by Sharon G Heilmann (United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs) Daniel T Holt (Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) and Christine Y Rilovick (Langley Air Force Base, Virginia) in Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies Volume 15 Number 1 (2008) © 2008 Baker College

Completed questionnaires from 223 organisational members were analysed to test the extent to which career plateaus were positively associated with intentions to leave and that structure and content plateaus explained unique variation in turnover intentions after considering job satisfaction, organisational commitment, job search behaviour, and several demographic characteristics. Findings supported both of these hypotheses. The authors also found that career plateaus influenced turnover intentions differently than job satisfaction and commitment in that plateaus directly influenced intentions rather than being mediated through job search behaviours.
