Predicting Potential For Promotion: How The Data In Human Resource Information Systems Can Be Used To Help Organizations Gain Competitive Advantage

Author
Fields, Gary S.
Abstract
This paper utilizes the data contained in the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) of a company, called here “Engineering Solutions,” and analyzes the drivers of potential for promotion among a sample of engineers. The methods used consist of basic statistical procedures, multiple regressions, ordered logits, and decompositions. The results show which variables are the main drivers of potential for promotion in this organization, which are minor drivers, and which do not matter at all.
