Preferred term

career plateau  

Definition

  • Since Thomas Ference, James Stoner, and Kirby Warren's seminal work first defined the career plateau, researchers have continued to investigate this antithetical phenomenon. This is due to the fact that many employees consider promotions and upward hierarchical movement as synonymous indicators of success at work. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; Career Plateau]
