Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 10

Abstract

Now-a-days dealing with career plateauing has become a severe issue for both plateaued employees and human resources practitioners. Career plateau is a point of a person’s career life where the likelihood of being promoted further is low. I have done a survey on employees of different private organizations to identify the effects of perceived career plateau on their work-related attitudes.Data were collected through a semistructured questionnaire from a sample of 200 employees working in 20 private organizations located in Dhaka city. 40 employees’ personally interviewed and other 160 employees were surveyed thorough e-mail and social network sites. A quantitative approach has been taken to analyze the data It is found that career plateau may be caused by four factors: organization’s hierarchical structure, organization’s culture, organization’s business strategies and employees own psychological factors. Results also indicate that career plateau may causes low level of job satisfaction, poor organizational commitment, higher rate of employee turnover and higher level of job stress. Furthermore, considering career plateauing consequences, this study found that job satisfactions and organizational commitment are negatively related to career plateau whereas intention to quit and job stress are positively related to career plateau. Moreover, the coping strategies for effectively dealing with career plateauing scenarios were discussed from individual and organizational perspectives in my study.
