Preliminary Draft: Do Not Cite Social Skills and Promotions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines which factors raise the probability a worker will be promoted using the NLSY dataset. While other papers have tried to explain what affects a worker’s probability of receiving a promotion, this is the first paper to look at the impact of social ability. We use the respondent’s self reported sociability at age eighteen and whether the individual participated in clubs during high school as measures of social skills. Individuals who participated in clubs during high school are thirteen percent more likely to receive a promotion than those who did not. Interestingly, this result only holds for blue-collar workers. On the other hand, white-collar workers who report they are somewhat social are ten percent more likely to receive a promotion than their co-workers who are somewhat shy. There is no evidence of gender or race discrimination in the promotion process.
