Linking individuals’ resources with (perceived) sustainable employability: Perspectives from conservation of resources and social information processing theory
通过整合性文献综述，基于资源保存理论和社会信息加工理论，提出可持续就业能力由就业能力、活力和工作能力三部分组成，并识别出个人资源（如职业能力、心理资本）和社会支持资源（如同事和主管的社会线索）是其关键前因，为个人和组织提升可持续就业能力提供指导。
Abstract Rapid technological advances, socio‐economic changes, globalization and increasingly dynamic working environments continue to present unique challenges for individuals with regard to sustaining their employability. While previous research highlights key factors that shape an individual's employability and ways of getting employment, there is a paucity of research on sustainable employability. To bridge this gap, this paper adopts an integrative review methodology to assess, analyse and synthesize extant literature on sustainable employability with the main focus on its antecedents. Building on conservation of resources theory and social information processing theory, our analysis demonstrates that sustainable employability involves three key components: employability, vitality and work ability. The analysis further reveals that sustainable employability can be achieved through selected personal and social support resources. Based on these we develop an integrative sustainable employability framework proposing personal and social support resources as key antecedents of sustainable employability. Personal resources comprise career competencies, psychological capital, mindfulness, core self‐evaluations and emotional intelligence. Social support resources are provided by co‐workers and supervisors and exhibited as social cues. With that, we extend and contribute to the sustainable employability literature by offering avenues for future research. From a managerial perspective, this review holds important implications for individuals to enrich their working capabilities as well as organizations to employ productive individuals.
