Antecedents and Outcomes of Organizational Support for Development: The Critical Role of Career Opportunities
TLDR
This study found that participation in training classes, leader-member exchange, and career mentoring were each positively related to employees' perceptions of organizational support for development and found support for the moderator hypotheses.Abstract:
This study examines antecedents and behavioral outcomes of employees' perceptions of organizational support for development. We first propose that employees' past participation in formal developmental activities and experience with developmental relationships positively relate to their perceptions of organizational support for development. We then propose that perceived career opportunity within the organization moderates the relationship between organizational support for development and employee performance and turnover. Using a sample of 264 exempt-level employees and their supervisors, we found that participation in training classes, leader-member exchange, and career mentoring were each positively related to employees' perceptions of organizational support for development. We also found support for the moderator hypotheses. Specifically, development support positively related to job performance, but only when perceived career opportunity within the organization was high. Further, development support was associated with reduced voluntary turnover when perceived career opportunity was high, but it was associated with increased turnover when perceived career opportunity was low. Our study demonstrates that social exchange and career motivation theory work together to explain when and how employees' perceptions of organizational support for development relate to turnover and job performance.read more

Integrating different notions of employability in a dynamic chain: The relationship between job transitions, movement capital and perceived employability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors connect different notions of employability with the ultimate aim to arrive at integration of a research field that has been criticized for being fragmented and fuzzy, and establish in a two-wave sample of 643 Belgian (Dutch-speaking) employees that these different concepts form a dynamic chain, so that job transitions promote movement capital which then affects perceived employability and ultimately feeds back to job transitions.

Women’s Managerial Aspirations An Organizational Development Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model that tests managers' biased evaluations of women as less career motivated as an explanation for why women have lower managerial aspirations than men, and they hypothesize that day-to-day managerial decisions involving allocating challenging work, training and development, and career encouragement mean women accrue less organizational development.
