The promotion record of the United States Army: Glass ceilings in the officer corps.
- Authors
Baldwin, J. Norman
- Abstract
The article focuses on promotion record of the U.S. Army and specifically examines the extent to which women and minorities are represented in the Army's promotion process at the middle management ranks, and then examines the promotion rates of women and minority officers over time and relative to men and Caucasians. The author concluded by examining whether the army promotes women and minorities at progressively higher or lower rates as rank increases. Although the federal government has achieved unprecedented diversity in its labor force, achieving representation across agencies and throughout their hierarchies remains two greatest challenges to contemporary personnel administration. The data of the survey indicate women and minorities are underrepresented in the Army's middle officer ranks, female officers are promoted at lower rates that male officers and minority officers are promoted at lower rates than majority officers. Except for Native American officers, cumulative promotion rates for minorities also indicate adverse effects beginning at the rank of major and lieutenant colonel. INSET: Methodology..
