Abstract:

Asserts that flatter, delayered organizations offer fewer opportunities than before for long-term job security and career progression in the conventional sense. Suggests that if flatter organizations are unable to provide career progression to the same degree as previously, new ways have to be found to retain and motivate staff and reward performance in the absence of opportunities to progress up the organizational ladder. Examines the implications for both individuals and organizations of this new employment climate.
