Abstract	Position change of administrators at a large, public research university was studied during 1983-1985. Attention was directed to: the organizational configuration of administrative positions and position vacancies; the effect of personnel policies and practices regarding internal and external appointments, position creation, and sponsorship on the rate of position change; and the effect of personnel policies and practices on the representation of women, men, and minorities. Organizational configuration was operationally defined as the distribution of administrative and professional positions and position vacancies by administrative levels. For sponsored positions, candidates were identified prior to vacancy posting. Data on position vacancies and personnel records for 823 administrative position vacancies filled by internal candidates were assessed. Findings include: half of the top administrative positions were filled with external candidates; the majority of internally-filled positions were not open to competition; the proportion of sponsored positions increased with administrative level; and white men were overrepresented at the high administrative levels, while white women and minorities were overrepresented at the low levels.
