Organizations adopt different bases of promotion depending upon their nature, size, management etc. Generally they may combine two or more bases of promotion. The well-established bases of promotion are seniority and merit. The other basis of the promotion which is well practiced in all types of organizations under different shades is favoritism. Organizations should have the idea of effectiveness of each basis in promoting the right man to the job.
1.Merit as a Basis of Promotion:Merit is taken to denote an individual employees skill, knowledge, ability efficiency and aptitude as measured from educational, training and past employment record.//
2. Seniority s a Basis of Promotion: Seniority refers to relative length of service in the same job and in the same organization. The logic behind considering the seniority as basis of promotion is that there is a positive correlation between the length of service in the same job and the amount of knowledge and the level of skill acquired by an employee in an organization.
