Employable, successful and healthy, or viceversa? A three-wave cross-lagged analysis
This three-wave cross-lagged study aimed to examine the relationships between resource-based employability and work-related well-being, as mediated by subjective and objective career success, and to test for reversed associations. Work-related well-being was assessed by means of two complementary indicators: vigour at work and emotional exhaustion. Three hundred and eighty-one Italian employees were sampled on all the study variables across three time points over a period of eight months. Associations between variables were examined through structural equation modelling after checking for scalar invariance. The reciprocal causation model fitted the data better than other structural models (stability, direct, and reversed causation). Employability T1 positively predicted vigour, subjective and objective career success T2. Subjective career success T2 was positively predicted by emotional exhaustion T1 and negatively predicted emotional exhaustion T3. Subjective career success T2 also mediated the negative association between employability T1 and emotional exhaustion T3. This study contributed to the theory and practice by examining the predictive role of a novel resource-based conceptualization of employability over three data waves, and by testing the differential mediating roles of subjective and objective career success examining direct and reversed causation links to and from employability and work-related well-being indicators.</p
Employability as a compass for career success: A time-lagged study on the mediating role of job performance
The Association of Job and Family Resources and Demands with Life Satisfaction through Work–Family Balance: A Longitudinal Study among Italian Schoolteachers during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Successfully balancing between work and family domains represents a major issue to both employees and employers, especially during COVID-19 pandemic times during which employees are often forced to work from a distance and turn to home-schooling. An occupational group particularly affected by work changes due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions is represented by schoolteachers. We aimed at examining the associations between some job-related and family-related antecedents on the one hand and, on the other, life satisfaction as an outcome, including work–family balance as a mediator. A total of 357 Italian teachers completed a questionnaire at two different times: job control, coworkers support, supervisor support, workload, family support, and family workload were assessed at Time 1; and work–family balance and life satisfaction were assessed at Time 2. Both data collections were performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hypothesized direct and indirect relationships were tested by utilizing structural equation modeling. Significant and positive indirect effects of focal predictors towards life satisfaction through work–family balance were found for job control, supervisor support, and family support. The paper contributed to the literature by testing Grzywacz and Carlson’s theoretical conceptualization of work–family balance and by attempting to delineate its repertoire of potential antecedents among schoolteachers. From a practical point of view, the present study emphasizes the crucial role that certain job antecedents and family antecedents play in promoting teachers’ work–family balance and life satisfaction
Be a boundaryless good guy! How job embeddedness mediates and organizational identification moderates the associations of boundaryless career attitude with extra-role behaviours
Purpose: This paper aims to examine the mediating role of job embeddedness and the moderating role of organizational identification on the relationships between boundaryless career attitude and extra-role behaviours (i.e. organizational citizenship behaviours and counterproductive work behaviours). Design/methodology/approach: A two-wave study was carried out on 296 employees from public and private organizations in Italy. Boundaryless career attitude, organizational identification and demographics were measured at Time 1. Four months later (Time 2), job embeddedness, organizational citizenship behaviours and counterproductive work behaviours were assessed. Responses were analysed by means of multigroup structural equation modelling. Findings: Job embeddedness mediated the positive relationship between boundaryless career attitude and counterproductive work behaviours, as well as its negative association with organizational citizenship behaviours; organizational identification buffered this latter indirect effect. Practical implications: Organizations can promote stronger organizational identification and job embeddedness to retain boundaryless-oriented talent and foster positive extra-role behaviours. Originality/value: This study integrated the protean/boundaryless careers literature with organizational behaviour theories to examine contextual factors influencing the effects of these contemporary career attitudes.</p
