Abstract

This study examined the impact of Shukko (employee transfer) experience of research and development (R&D) engineers in a Japanese automotive manufacturing group on their capability improvement and speed of promotion. It found that internal/external capabilities improve with the length of the service, and that internal/external capabilities improve with Shukko (employee transfer) experience and that Shukko and external capability do not have a significantly positive impact on the speed of promotion, and instead the level of internal capability is necessary for the speed of promotion.
