Abstract
This research examined the influence of organizational career line variables, such as career line length, career line ceiling, position ratio, position mobility opportunity, on such variables as turnover and intent to remain with the organization. A position's mobility opportunity and the increase in salary associated with promotion were found to combine multiplicatively to influence the membership decision.Keywords
