There are many reasons for working towards a job promotion, I feel that self-esteem is by far the most important reason. Money and wider opportunities are nice but you must like to work you do and the company you work for.
Self-esteem is pride in yourself and being proud to work for a given company. With high self-esteem you want to produce the best product and to do your best to make the company shine. An example of this pride and self-esteem would be showing up for work early every day, and willing to stay late or pull overtime. Self-esteem is is always looking your best and presenting a good image for the company.
It is found that persons in the work place with high self-esteem are sick less often, produce more work, and also produce a better quality produce for the company.

If you are at the job only for the money, you try to get the most money for the least amount of effort. So you will tend to try and cut corners, which can reduce the quality of the product. Also if you are working for just the money you may never be early to work and may try to make it out the door as fast as passable at quitting time. You do not take pride in your company and want to see it succeed.

The same can be said for worker trying to get promoted so they have wider job opportunities. Not only do such workers not take pride in the company but must dislike there job because they what to be promoted out of there current job. I would say people being promoted only for different or wider job opportunities have the lowest self-esteem.

In closing I feel that promotions based self-esteem could actually improve the company, not only as viewed by clients but the employees as well. Self-esteem is pride and confidence this will show in the employee and the company. Clients will be more willing to go to a company with high self-esteem.

I think it is very important to seek a promotion at work. I feel that I would seek growth where ever in life I would be. In order for an employee to seek a job promotion the employee must superseed job expectations and prove to himself and the supervisor of his superior that he/she will make the company profitable and also be able to comply with the specific job responsibilities. The employee must have job skills, and training to be able to perform the job.
At my previous job I started as a receptionist and after 2 months I got promoted to Human Resource Assistant to me that was a great promotion. I enjoyed the promotion and also being able to learn more and advance into a new carrer.
This new promotion opened a whole new world for me in the Human Resource field. It gave a jump start on a new education. Worked with different diversities of employees, and also that taught the importance of diversity. A promotion plays a very important role in a persons life as well as their job performance. The job performance will upgrade in so many ways and most likely have an exceding employee.
Always be positive and give it the best you have at all times in your work performance and sooner than you think you will be offered a great promotion.

Congradulation! You've got promotion. What a wonderful word you can hear in the area you are working with.
Everone wants to have a great perfomane on the job. Of course the salary will be raised but it's not the only profit when you are promted achivement is also improtant reason people like be promoted.
