Abstract
The article discusses a study that tested the generalizability of the relationship between birth order and achievement in a sample of middle managers. The measure of achievement in the study was determined by the average rate of earnings progression. One hundred and four middle managers were seperated into four categories, depending on their birth order. The results indicated that only children as well as the eldest sibling tended to be the most successful. The study has also found that the youngest of more than two children would be intermediate in earnings progression, while the other children tended to show the smallest earnings progression increases.Keywords
