“…Finally, our results on the effects of rankings on party decisions between rounds contribute to a rich literature exploring the properties of two-round voting systems (e.g., Osborne and Slivinski, 1996;Piketty, 2000;Bouton, 2013;Bordignon et al, 2016;Bouton et al, 2019;Cipullo, 2019), and they echo recent work showing that parties tend to promote candidates ranked higher by voters in open-list elections (Folke et al, 2016;Meriläinen and Tukiainen, 2016;Cirone et al, 2020), that their likelihood to appoint a government increases when they receive more seats or votes (Fujiwara and Sanz, 2020), and that incumbents elected with a higher rank in multi-member districts are more likely to win higher office in future elections (Dulay and Go, 2021).…”

“…These findings add new insights to the extensive literature on incumbency effects, and they are also closely related to work on seniority-based nomination norms in politics (McKelvey and Riezman 1992;Epstein et al 1997;Cirone, Cox, and Fiva 2020).…”

The Advantage of Incumbents in Coalitional Bargaining

The composition of governing coalitions does not always reflect the relative sizes of the coalition members, but research has not been able to fully reconcile why. We propose that political parties with more (reelected) incumbent representatives fare better in coalitional bargaining. To evaluate this argument empirically, we construct a data set of parties and governing coalitions in Finnish local governments. Using an instrumental variable strategy that hinges on within-party close elections between incumbents and non-incumbents, we find that, ceteris paribus, having more re-elected incumbents improves a party's coalitional bargaining outcomes. Descriptive evidence suggests that incumbent representation is particularly useful when a party is in a disadvantaged position (e.g., it is ideologically distant from other parties) and when the bargaining environment is more complex (e.g., there are more parties). Lastly, incumbent representation also matters for selection: parties that have more incumbent representatives nominate more incumbents in the municipal executive.

“…Researchers in the past have found that work experience is positively associated with career/job promotions (Cirone et al, 2021;Ng et al, 2005;Metz and Tharenou, 2001;Rasdi et al, 2011). Rasdi et al (2011) investigated a wide range of factors in predicting job promotions among Malaysian employees and found that having longer work tenure was positively related to high promotions and pay.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of gender in the relationships between employee’s work experience and their chances of obtaining a job promotion. Design/methodology/approach Five hundred middle to lower management Pakistan employees from service industries were surveyed. Measures used to obtain data included work experience, job promotions and gender. Gender was dummy coded. Moderation analyses via SPSS was used to investigate the moderating effect of gender in the relationship between employee’s work experience and job promotions. Findings The results indicated that work experience was positively associated with job promotion. However, the results indicated that gender fully moderated the relationship between work experience and job promotion. Specifically, female employees were less likely to get promoted compared to male employees despite having similar work experiences. Research limitations/implications Drawing together the human capital theory, social role theory and cultural factors, this study highlighted the socioeconomic/cultural barriers’ impact on Pakistani women’s career ascendance. Practical implications There is a lack of empirical evidence about career ascendance among Pakistani women. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to conduct and provide empirical evidence so that relevant agencies within Pakistan can develop more gender-equitable promotional policies and processes. Originality/value This study responded to the call for more empirical investigation of career ascendancy among women in developing countries. While this issue has been discussed in many developed western countries, there is a lack of empirical evidence in Muslim Pakistan.
