ON PROMOTION, JOB SECURITY, AND RELATED CONCERNS:
I. Anyone who is able to be promoted is an employee who has set goals and accomplished them.
Explain why you agree or disagree with the above statement and support your response with references.
ANSWER:
DISAGREE:
Reasons:
- Promoting an employee is placing him in a higher position in which he would have a bigger responsibility. This may mean: wider scope of job, more challenging/difficult tasks, more valued task (when it comes to contribution to the company), and at times greater number of people supervised. As such, the bases include: commendable performance in a current job, appropriate and adequate qualifications as to knowledge and skills, desirable work attitudes and behaviour, and ability/willingness to learn things other than those he used to perform in his existing or current job. Performance in a job is commendable when pre-determined goals are attained. Hence, performance in a current job is only one among the many factors considered in promoting a particular employee.
- An employee who has been meeting the goals and objectives in relation to his job does not mean that he is already capable of performing larger and more challenging jobs. His capacity may only be in a particular job where he is placed. Example 1: a good clerk/secretary may not necessary qualify as a supervisor of secretaries. His skills and knowledge may only be appropriate and enough to the position as a secretary and not as a supervisor.
Example 2: A Financial analyst may excel in the performance in his functions such as analyzing financial statements, forecasting financial performance, proposing investment projects, but not as a finance manager.
