Unpacking internal mobility: Drivers and consequences of employee redeployment inside organizations

Abstract

This Symposium includes five studies on the drivers and consequences of employee mobility within organizations. The studies in this symposium adopt a multi-level perspective, by examining how the interaction of individual and organizational factors determine internal moves as well as the individual- and firm-level outcomes of those moves. After the presentations, Professor Russell (Russ) Coff will lead the paper discussion. The goal of the Symposium is to foster a research conversation among researchers interested in internal mobility across disciplinary fields, including careers, human resource management, and strategy, to identify overlaps, potential for collaboration, and avenues for future research.
