The present study aims to expand our understanding of the balance hypothesis. We propose that leader and colleagues’ support jointly contribute to balanced needs satisfaction, which promotes positive affect that in turn enriches home-domain wellbeing (i.e., subjective vitality). We integrate Self-Determination Theory and the Work-Home Resources model to suggest that beyond the satisfaction of each independent need, balanced needs satisfaction serves as a mechanism linking workplace support to the transfer of volatile energetic resources (positive affect) across domains. A diary study across 10 workdays with N=85 employees offers support for our research model as we find that joint leader and colleague support are indirectly related to home-domain subjective vitality via the balanced satisfaction of the basic psychological needs and positive affect. Supplementary analysis using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) further corroborates the distinct contribution of balanced needs satisfaction to well-being.

Sample 2 (<em>n</em><sup><em>T1</em></sup> = 1388) replicated the six profiles and revealed that the career competency profiles in individuals' final year in education predicted employment status, perceived employability, underemployment, and perceived transition satisfaction one year after graduation.

Additionally, we elaborate on the role of dynamic feedback loops, coping and defense mechanisms, self-directed career orientations, and a balance of proximal and distal outcome perspectives in the relationship between subjective P−C fit and sustainable career outcomes. In doing so, we introduce a key mechanism to connect career actors and outcomes in the sustainable career ecosystem model, highlighting the importance of integrating individual agency, contextual influences, and evolving career meaning for the individual into a single framework.

We further argue that such a sense of belonging not only redefines their position within their teams, but it also plays an important role in strengthening their work engagement.
