Demographic similarity to the work group: a longitudinal study of managers at the early career stage

Article Abstract:

A study of Canadian business school graduates was conducted to examine the effects of the early job experiences of job challenge, work group fit, mentor relationship and supervisor support on organizational commitment, turnover and promotion outcomes. The results showed that dissimilarity in education, age and lifestyle results in poor work group fit and less challenge. Dissimilarity in gender results in strong linkages between early experiences and organizational commitment, while dissimilarity in age, education and lifestyle resulted in strong linkages between early experiences and turnover.

Personnel department expenditures and labor productivity

Article Abstract:

The link between personnel department expenditures and the total annual output of 11 large railroads was examined over a six-year period. The results showed that there was significant correlation between personnel department expenditures and annual output. However, it was also shown that the individual railroads failed to adjust personnel department expenditures over the six-year period in a manner that maximized labor productivity.
