Abstract
Researchers consider career path planning an important subject. It has attracted the attention of human resource managers in specific and organisational administrations in general, because of its effective role in developing and managing occupations, and its positive direct impact on the organisational performance when employed effectively. The study attempted to recognise the effect of career path planning on organisational performance of Jordan pharmaceutical companies. The researchers employed a descriptive analytical methodology to gather and analyse data. The population of the study included all Jordan pharmaceutical companies (No. 15). The researchers applied a random sampling method in selecting four companies for studying. Employees in the four companies holding supervisory positions participated in the study. The career path planning had affected organisational performance in the pharmaceutical companies. The researchers recommend Jordan pharmaceutical companies to adopt the culture of career path planning and recommend other researchers to increase academic research on it.
