Promotional timetables: an exploratory investigation of age norms for promotional expectations and their association with job well-being

J Lashbrook
Department of Sociology, Concord College, Athens, WV 24712, USA.

Using data representative of the U.S. working population, this research explores age norms for promotional expectations and assesses whether or not they carry with them psychological consequences. Findings reveal some degree of normativity in promotion expectations during two age brackets of the work life span, and they are consistent across assorted structural features. Normative expectations, however, were not associated with job well-being when other relevant factors were included in the analysis. Current job conditions were most clearly linked to well-being.
