Abstract

PurposeBuilding upon Social Exchange Theory, this study explores the relationship between perceived opportunities for competency development (POCD), subjective career success (SCS), and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Given the importance of SCS in providing mutual benefits for both the employee and the organization, this study examines how SCS plays a mediating role in the relationship between POCD and OCBs.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from 353 full-time working professionals in Malaysian organizations through a two-wave hardcopy questionnaire survey. The data was then analyzed using structural equation modeling and the bootstrapping method.FindingsThe study found no significant direct relationship between POCD and OCBs. However, the bootstrapping analysis uncovered that SCS mediated this relationship, indicating a significant full mediation effect.Research limitations/implicationsTo increase the external validity of findings, future studies should include samples from various industries in both the public and private sectors.Originality/valueIn contrast to the findings from previous studies, this study adds value to the career literature by demonstrating that without a sense of SCS, even with competency development opportunities, employees are less likely to engage in OCBs. It highlights the importance of SCS in fostering mutual benefits for both the employee and the organization.
能力发展机会与组织公民行为:主观职业成功的中介作用
目的 本研究以社会交换理论为基础,探讨感知能力发展机会(POCD)、主观职业成功(SCS)和组织公民行为(OCBs)之间的关系。鉴于 SCS 在为员工和组织双方提供互惠互利方面的重要性,本研究探讨了 SCS 如何在 POCD 与 OCB 之间的关系中发挥中介作用。研究发现,POCD 与 OCBs 之间没有显著的直接关系。为了提高研究结果的外部有效性,未来的研究应包括来自公共和私营部门不同行业的样本。原创性/价值与之前的研究结果相比,本研究通过证明没有 SCS 意识,即使有能力发展机会,员工也不太可能参与 OCB,为职业文献增添了价值。它强调了 SCS 在促进员工和组织双方互惠互利方面的重要性。
