Abstract
The impact on careers of changing jobs or organizations was studied using salary, job responsibility, and rate of movement data from 673 Wisconsin school administrators. Results indicated a high incidence of interpositional and interorganizational mobility, with 81% of the school administrators having changed organizations at least once and 54% of all position changes being organizational changes. Interpositional mobility led to higher salaries and longer time to achieve level. Recent interorganizational mobility had a positive effect on salary and responsibility for superintendents but not for principals. There was little effect on career outcomes of entering administration during a period of contraction or expansion of available jobs. Results are discussed within the context of an occupational labor market rather than an organizational labor market.
