Abstract
Organizational Career Mobility (OCM) is viewed conceptually as all job movements experienced by employees and the related attitudes and behaviors. A multifaceted model is delineated in which individual and organizational factors determine mobility patterns. Managerial and behavioral processes are considered mediators. Both methodological usefulness and practical usefulness of the model are emphasized.
