Employee demand–ability fit and promotability ratings: a moderated mediation model of task performance and political skill
Purpose The study explores the mechanism between employee demand–ability fit and promotability ratings. Moreover, we examine whether political skill moderates the relationship above. Design/methodology/approach The present study received 260 effective supervisor-rated questionnaires from various industries in Taiwan. Findings The results reveal that employee demand–ability fit positively relates to promotability ratings, and task performance mediates the above relationship. In addition, political skill positively moderates the relationship between employee demand–ability fit and task performance. Originality/value We used the supervisor rating for our variables to test the hypotheses.
