Make sense. If you want to grow and your company doesn't give you any opportunities it's best to look elsewhere, so not surprised by this.

  But that's not the implication of the study itself, or at least it's not at all obvious. That would be the implication strictly from the headline and a lot of people are making comments that suggest that they only read the headline or perhaps the first two sentences. The study itself shows that if the company hires someone else from within the organization, the effect disappears. So at very least from the data one can't immediately conclude what you assumed.

    That makes sense as you see the possibility of being next in-line. If they hire externally they will never promote you. If they interview you and pass they will never promote you. With external candidates if you interviewed somewhere and they rejected do you ever really apply again? I wouldn't.. maybe if I'm trying to get into google perhaps but never for a typical company. The effect works for both internal and external candidates.
