Abstract

Prior research has used career plateau to account for employeesā€™ work outcomes. Owing to recent deā€emphasis on organizational careers, however, employees may have changed their attitudes toward career plateau. This research argues that professional plateauā€”defined as the point where employees find their jobs unchallenging and that they provide few opportunities for professional development and future employabilityā€”can enhance the explanation for employeesā€™ work outcomes. The major hypothesis of this research is that professional plateau will account for a significant variance in three work outcomesā€”namely, career satisfaction, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions. Data collected from a questionnaire survey were used to test the hypotheses in this research. The results show that professional plateau accounted for a significant variance in the three work outcomes. The results are significant because they add another dimension to our understanding of plateau.
