An important issue for organizations in talent management is supporting employees to achieve their career success that can accordingly drive organizational success. Promotability rating is not only an important index of employee promotion, but also a key element for evaluating employees’ career success. On the internal promotional development path of the traditional organizations, most of them still take employee performance for a major decision element of promotability rating. In the HR management field, followership is a new topic which has been discussed in recent years. Followership can be divided into explicit followership and implicit followership. In terms of implicit followership, it shows the correlation among the cognitive leader-member exchange relationship, the degree of subordinates’ liking for their supervisors and job performance. With the above issues, this study adopted an implicit followership scale developed by Yi-Chieh Cheng (2016) to collect cross-industry data. A total of 459 valid questionnaires are returned from the private companies in Taiwan and China. A structural equation modeling is used to investigate the association among implicit followership, job performance and promotability rating and simultaneously observe the mediating effects on the exchange relationship between leaders and members of the social network and the degree of supervisors’ liking. The results of this study show that implicit followership has a significant positive association with promotability rating and then can predict employees’ career success.
