Interpretation and analysis

Study: Q. 4: Why career development should be integrated in organization’s Human
Resource Development process?

Table # 15-B shows that the validity for the responses received for the organizations,
having strategy for creating promotion opportunities, is 27.8%. According the above table
36.1% responses say ‘yes’ to the question and the same number of responses forming
36.1% of the total say ‘no’ to having organizational strategy for promotions. This tie
could be explained with different reasons behind it but the most obvious one is that there
is no general agreement among the senior management of this category of the
organization. This could also be interpreted as the non existence of any such a strategy
and the management is simply referring to the policy document which may not be strictly
followed. On the other hand it may be interpreted that even if it exists still the senior
management is not satisfied with the results it has produced so far.
