Abstract	Taking charge is an important form of proactive behavior that sustains organizational survival and success. Despite considerable research on how to encourage employees to take charge, little is known about whether and when supervisors will reward those who take charge with more career progression (i.e., promotability and visibility). Building on person categorization theory and status literature, we propose that when supervisors categorize those who take charge as enhancing their status in the organization, they will consider those employees deserve more career progression. Two-wave survey data collected from 143 supervisor-subordinate dyads evidenced our hypotheses. Furthermore, we found high-status-goal-striving supervisors consider taking charge particularly beneficial to their status enhancement whereas low-status-goal-striving supervisors view taking charge detrimental to their status enhancement, which in turn affects their evaluations on the focal employee’s career progression. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
