Thank you very much, Port City さん and mmb42 さん, for your helpful comments and suggestions.

Apologies for this late comment. Following on from Port City's general point on the need for a neutral 'relative take' on 成果, 3 things in this passage strike me as running against the interpretation settled for. i) there has to be a good reason for the wording used: 成果のリンク先　not 成果へのリンク先; perhaps a closer look at the context might help; ii) 不都会な事柄 does apply to 成果のリンク先. so what to make of this? iii) 成果のリンク先 being so categorised is listed together with some pretty shady types of behaviour. We may dismiss those as irrelevant, but 成果のリンク先 is clearly lumped with 3 subjects of contention and issue, which suggests that this mention is not meant as a blithe reference to 'flight to glory'. So how could we reconcile the queried phrase with the context? Seems to me that "contributions to results" would to the job. What does every one think? :-)

リンク先を、良い成果なら自己の実績にし、成果が良くないなら他者のせいにする、といった意味に解釈すると、attribution of the performance results あたりに訳せると思います。

また、リンク先を将来志向にとらえて、良い成果を出すと昇進、悪い成果だと左遷といった意味と解釈すると、result-based career opportunity はどうでしょうか。成果は、良い成果だけではなく、良くない成果も含まれていると思います。

私自身は「リンク先」は「成果をだれとassociate するか」、即ちだれの実績にするか、の意味の可能性も十分あると思いますが、定かではありません。みなさん、どう思われますか？
