Abstract

Purpose

This study examines the impact of career competencies (CC) (in the form of personal resources) on sustainable employability (SE) under the tenets of the Conservation of Resources theory. Further, we assess the moderating impact of coworker support and supervisor support (work-related social resources) in this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected using survey method from 362 doctors employed in private hospitals in Pakistan. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).

Findings

The results suggests a significant influence of CC on SE. Further, results also reveal that social support received from coworkers moderates the relationship between CC and SE. However, we find that supervisor support does not moderate the said relationship.

Originality/value

This research has clear novelty as SE is a recently defined construct and is still an area with insufficient empirical research. There is increasing interest in identifying the determinants and underlying mechanism of SE. Thus, this study makes contributions to knowledge by investigating CC and social resources as antecedents of SE. This study also offers implications for theory generally, and within the medical practitioner context more specifically.

培养可持续就业能力:医疗保健领域社会支持与职业能力的关系
目的 本研究根据资源保护理论,探讨了职业能力(CC)(以个人资源的形式)对可持续就业能力(SE)的影响。此外,我们还评估了同事支持和上司支持(与工作相关的社会资源)在这一关系中的调节作用。设计/方法/途径通过调查方法收集了巴基斯坦私立医院 362 名医生的数据。结果表明,CC 对 SE 有显著影响。此外,结果还显示,同事提供的社会支持调节了 CC 与 SE 之间的关系。原创性/价值这项研究具有明显的新颖性,因为 SE 是一个新近定义的概念,而且仍是一个实证研究不足的领域。人们对确定 SE 的决定因素和内在机制的兴趣与日俱增。因此,本研究通过对作为 SE 前因的 CC 和社会资源进行调查,对知识做出了贡献。本研究还对一般理论,特别是执业医师方面的理论产生了影响。
