Abstract(s)
By acknowledging the role of assessing employees’ promotability in talent development and retention,
along with the need to improve the understanding about its antecedents, this paper examines the impact
of employees’ role breadth self-efficacy on this criterion. Specifically, it builds upon the integration of
previous theoretical developments regarding the motivational virtues of role breadth self-efficacy at
work, with the core assumptions of Spence’s signalling theory to empirically test whether innovative
work behaviour acts as an underlying mechanism of the link between role breadth self-efficacy and
promotability. Relying upon a time-lagged design with multisource data (employees and respective
supervisors), evidence obtained from a sample of N = 185 software engineers supported the indirect
effect of role breadth self-efficacy on supervisors’ ratings of employees’ promotability, via employees’
innovative work behaviour. The main theoretical and applied contributions of these findings are pre sented and discussed in the context of human resource management.
