Synopsis
Excerpt from A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Boundary Spanning and Project Supervision on Turnover and Promotion in Research and Development
External information is transmitted effectively into project groups via a multi-step process. Boundary spanning individuals (that is, gatekeepers and internal liaisons) gather and understand relevant external (to the project team) information, and subsequently channel it in more meaningful terms to their more local colleagues. Boundary spanning individuals, then, perform an extremely valuable function, for they are the principal means by which exter nal ideas and information are transferred into R 0 project groups (katz and Tushman, Many boundary spanning individuals in R D are also project supervisors.

A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Boundary Spanning and Project
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of project supervisors in influencing career progression and retention rates for research and development professionals. The author investigates longitudinal data to uncover the impact of supervisory boundary spanning activity on employee turnover and promotion over a five-year period. The findings suggest that while supervisory boundary spanning enhances the performance of technical projects, its impact on employee career outcomes is context dependent. In the early stages of a career, particularly for young engineers, working for a supervisor who engages in boundary spanning significantly reduces turnover rates and increases the likelihood of managerial promotion. However, these effects are not observed for more experienced employees or in all project areas. The book concludes that supervisory boundary spanning plays a vital role in socializing and integrating young professionals into the organization, shaping their career trajectories and the composition of the organization's future leadership.
