Drawing on the literature based on the job demand-resources model and social exchange theory, the current study aimed to investigate the indirect relationship between perceived career support at Time 1 and work engagement at Time 2 via Time 1 career self-efficacy. Further, we proposed that perceived career support moderated the relationship between career self-efficacy and work engagement. The data were collected in two waves from 303 adult employees who worked in manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The hypothesized model was tested using structural regression. The results suggest that career self-efficacy partially mediates the positive relationship between perceived career support and work engagement. Moreover, perceived career support moderated the relationship between career self-efficacy and work engagement.

感知到的职业支持如何使员工眼睛明亮、尾巴浓密？职业自我效能感的中介作用

借鉴基于工作需求-资源模型和社会交换理论的文献，本研究旨在通过时间 1 的职业自我效能调查时间 1 的感知职业支持与时间 2 的工作投入之间的间接关系。此外，我们提出，感知到的职业支持调节了职业自我效能感和工作投入之间的关系。这些数据是从在巴基斯坦制造公司工作的 303 名成年员工分两轮收集的。使用结构回归测试了假设模型。结果表明，职业自我效能感在感知职业支持和工作投入之间起到了部分中介作用。此外，感知到的职业支持调节了职业自我效能感和工作投入之间的关系。
