Many factors are influential to job promotions; whereas, little research, in the past, was conducted to explore the relationship between active upward-communication and perceived promotional opportunity. Through compiling and concluding previous stu-dies, this research through leader-member exchange (LMX) to infer that active up-ward-communication is positively associated with perceived promotional opportuneity, and through communication conflict to infer that there is a negative relationship between active upward-communication and perceived promotional opportunity. Ac-cordingly, the purpose of this research is to find out the connection between active upward-communication and perceived promotional opportunity with job seniority being the moderator variable. In order to classify the relation between independent variable and dependent variable, the research uses sex, age, job position, career, and job performance as the control variables. The research subjects are workers, lower level managers and middle level managers at companies. Of the 364 questionnaires, 340 have been collected as valid samples. The collection rate is 93.4%. The research conclusion is that the active up-ward-communication is positively associated with perceived promotional opportunity. Moreover, this research also has some conclusions and managerial implications.
