High Aspiration Hourly Workers as Potential Entry-Level Professional Employees.

Posavac, Emil J.; And Others

Journal of Career Development, v23 n2 p151-65 Win 1996

Responses from 173 new staff and 756 promoted staff among 1,998 exempt employees, and from 993 of 3,858 nonexempt employees indicated that nonexempts with high aspirations were more committed to the organization/job and had higher career goals than new staff in supervisory positions. Results suggest that hourly workers eager for career development could benefit from targeted training for supervisory positions. (SK)
