| Promotional decision is one of the important human resource practices that has been seen as a challenge for many organizations. Strong human capital is the successful factor for the development of an organization which can help the company to gain competitive advantage. Promotion criteria which based on seniority, competency, leadership and job attitude are going to discuss in this paper to test their relationship with company performance. 100 human resource executives from different companies will answer the self-directed questionnaire for data collection. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions will be used to analyse the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. Results showed that all independent variables are positively related to dependent variable where competency is resulted in highest relationship. Managerial implications are provided to guide managers on the effective promotion criteria for better organizational effectiveness. |
