The Signaling Role of Not Being Promoted: Theory and Evidence

Abstract
This article studies the negative signals associated with non-promotion. I first show theoretically that, when workers� productivity rises little with additional years on the same job level, the negative signal associated with non-promotion leads to wage decreases. On the other hand, when additional job-level tenure leads to a sizable increase in productivity, workers� wages increase. I test my model�s predictions using the personnel records from a large US firm from 1970-1988. I find a clear hump-shaped wage-job-tenure profile for workers who stay in the same job level, which supports my model�s prediction.
