Drawing on social exchange theory, the objectives of the study were to examine how succession planning relates to employee performance and assess whether career development and performance appraisal mediate this relationship. Using survey methodology, data were collected from permanent employees at several commercial banks (N = 239; 62% male). Structural equation modeling tested the proposed model. The results suggested that succession planning had a significant, positive relationship with employee performance, and both career development and performance appraisal mediated the relationship. The current study extends the social exchange theory by identifying the relationship between succession planning and employee performance in the context of the banking sector. The study suggests that if bank management builds a pool of skilled employees through succession planning and performance management, it can ameliorate inappropriate appointments in response to sudden vacancies and retirement of employees.

将继任计划与员工绩效联系起来：职业发展和绩效评估的中介作用

借鉴社会交换理论，该研究的目标是检查继任计划如何与员工绩效相关，并评估职业发展和绩效评估是否调节了这种关系。使用调查方法，数据是从几家商业银行的固定员工那里收集的（N = 239；62% 是男性）。结构方程模型测试了所提出的模型。结果表明，继任计划与员工绩效有显着的正相关关系，职业发展和绩效评估都在调节这种关系。当前的研究通过确定银行业背景下的继任计划与员工绩效之间的关系扩展了社会交换理论。
