Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - August 22, 2006

Report Link Heading for the Fast Track? New Studies Examine Who Gets Promoted and Why.
Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - August 16, 2005
Even as two big labor unions decided this week to defect from the AFL-CIO, claiming that it had failed to stop declining union membership or push hard enough for labor reform, debate about the alchemy of promotion -- who gets it, when and why -- animated a recent conference at Wharton organized by the School's Center for Human Resources.

Report Link Goal setting and Cheating: Why They Often Go Together in the Workplace.
Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - July 27, 2004
From childhood on, individuals are told that setting goals for themselves will make them more successful in whatever they set out to do - whether it's win tennis games, ace their exams or become CEO of their company. But goal-setting also has a dark side to it, according to a recent research paper by a Wharton faculty member and two colleagues.
