CAREER-RELATED ANTECEDENTS AND OUTCOMES OF JOB ROTATION

Drawing on related literature and an inductive pilot study, we propose a conceptual framework for the relationship between job rotation and selected career-related variables. A test on 255 employees showed rota tion was predicted by career antecedents, such as tenure and performan ce, and was related to career outcomes, such as salary and promotion, positive affect, and perceptions of skill acquisition and other career benefits. Rotation may he a proactive way to enhance the career devel opment value of work assignments.
