本研究探討員工的組織社會化程度與其升遷之關係。經由問卷調查收集了196位受訪者有關其在目前服務機構升遷經驗之相關資訊，利用迴歸分析的結果顯示：雖然個人因素如性別、年齡、教育程度、工作經驗、年資等都對升遷有重要影響，但在探制了這些變數後發現員工組織社會化程度亦是一重要預測變數，其與升遷速度成顯著正相關。此外，其他變數如經常適時提供建議方案及受長官推薦等所造成升遷速度的差異其實皆與員工本身之組織社會化程度有關。本研究除說明了傳統升遷因素的影響力外，員工的組織社會化程度對升遷的顯著效果可使組織內的升遷理論更完整。
This study examined the impact of organizational socialization on promotion rate. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires from 196 full-time employees who have ever received promotions in present organizations. Results of regression analyses revealed that, though career-relevant factors such as gender, age, educational attainment, work experience, and seniority had significant impact on promotion, the influence of how well an employee was socialized in the organization was found to be sizable after control of those variables. How well an individual was socialized in the organization was significantly positively related to one's advancing upward in the organization. Although the results reinforced the dominance of the traditional determinants of promotion decisions, the significant effect of organizational socialization on promotability may help to paint a fuller picture of promotion criteria in the organizations.
