ABSTRACT
The institution’s management firmly believes that staff members who excel exemplarily in performing their duties should reap the fruits of their hard work. However, that requires motivation of which promotion is one. Currently UNAM has four career paths through which administrative staff members can advance their career at the University, namely: applying for a vacant position at a higher level in another department; being promoted in the current position by way of upgrading the staff members current position; being promoted to a higher position within the department; and Ad Hominum promotions. This study intends to investigate whether the four career paths are applied procedurally. A combination of methods involving literature survey, questionnaires and interviews was used to collect the data for the study. The study discovered lack of information sharing on the policy as well as misinterpretation of the procedures amongst staff members as major problems. The other is staff member’s mistrust of the policy makers. This does not mean that the policy makers are not doing a good job. However, staff needs to be guided as to how they can be promoted in the future. The study is the first of its kind.
