Abstract

The literature provides evidence for the effects of number of reporting levels on employees' attitudes, and in turn their reactions to work and work context. Yet, so far, little empirical attention has been paid to understand implications of the number of reporting levels on employees. The study investigated the differential effects of number of reporting levels on employees in teams in terms of opportunities for promotion, opportunities for lateral transfer, satisfaction with work environment, and team process. Survey methodology was used and 281 respondents who fulfilled the selection criteria set for the study responded. To examine the hypothesized relationships logistic regression was performed. The findings supported the hypothesis that employees perceive more opportunities for promotion when many reporting levels (3 to 5 in the present study) exist. Further, the findings supported the hypothesis that employees perceive more satisfaction with the work environment when few reporting levels (2 in the present study) exist.
