One problem arising from this is how business leaders then choose amongst the remaining employees which ones are most suited for promotion. The two major questions that arise are: Is it really the employee with higher competency and greater working performance who is promoted? Will the fact that a worker has multiple abilities come into play? This study is based on a prominent company in its market in Southern Taiwan. The questionnaire was distributed to 84 department leaders. All fully completed forms were returned. The results achieved show that competency and multiple abilities will have a direct effect on promotion. On the other hand, working performance has no obvious effect on promotional opportunity. This study further shows the relationship between competency and promotional opportunity is moderated by the effect of multiple abilities. But the relation between working performance and promotional opportunity is in no way moderated by multiple abilities.
