Title:CAREER PLATEAU AMONG WORKERS IN LUCAS- TVS, CHENNAI.Source:Golden Research Thoughts [2231-5063] C.BAKKIA LAKSHMI yr:2012 vol:2 iss:6

INTRODUCTION:

The aim of this study is to identify the reason for the career plateau it was been carried out by the Five models such as i) Positive job attitudes, ii)Job satisfaction rate iii) EXIT plans iv) Plea tuning v) Career planning and mentoring.

The term career plateau refers to the feeling of frustration and psychological feebleness that employees tend to experience following a temporary or permanent halt in the advancement of their careers (Lemire, Saba and Gagnon 1999; Rotondo and Perrewe 2000; Rotondo 1999). At this stage of an employee's career, the likelihood of additional hierarchical promotion is very low (Duffy 2000). Career plateaus lead to some previously effective employees becoming ineffective performers within the organization (Appelbaum 1994), and may lead some effective employees to leave the company (Rotondo and Perrewe 2000). Consequently, employee career plateaus are likely to be detrimental to the operating activities of an enterprise, and reversing employee career plateau tendencies is likely to be an important issue for companies.

OVERVIEW TO RESEARCH

Career plateau is often seen as being fundamentally detrimental to workers' satisfaction .However, there is far from unanimous agreement in the literature on such a negative influence. For example, Near

(1984) or Evans and Gilbert (1984) found no significant difference in terms of general satisfaction between respondents already at a career plateau and those who didn't reach this stage. Studying the variables that moderate an individual's reactions to reaching career plateau may represent a step forward in understanding this process and in searching for solutions to assist companies in managing their human resources in a more efficient way.

Most of the research on career plateau and job satisfaction concerns individuals working in full-time managerial positions (Ettington, 1992; Nicholson, 1993; Lamoureux et al., 1994; Tremblay et al., 1995). Yet, companies also have to manage the careers of people working part-time, and not only at managerial levels in the organization. Although people belonging to these categories are seldom considered as key actors in the company, they represent a significant part of the workforce (about 17 % in France), and the costs linked to their dissatisfaction in terms of lower productivity, recruitment, or training can be very high.
