A cross‐lagged study investigating the relationship between burnout and subjective career success from a lifespan developmental perspective
基于资源保存理论，对362名全职员工间隔9个月的两轮调查发现，职业倦怠中的疏离感与主观职业成功存在双向关系，且职业不安全感起中介作用；职业未来时间观中的剩余机会和剩余时间分别调节了疏离感和情绪耗竭与主观职业成功的负向关系。
Abstract This study draws on the conservation of resources theory to investigate the relationship between burnout (disengagement and emotional exhaustion) and subjective career success (SCS) through career insecurity over time. It also aims to shed light on the role of the occupational future time perspective (i.e., remaining opportunities and remaining time) as a personal resource that may moderate the direct and indirect relationship between burnout and SCS through career insecurity. A total of 362 full‐time working individuals participated in the survey, which was administered at two time points, 9 months apart. The results from the cross‐lagged analysis suggested a bidirectional relationship between disengagement and SCS; however, emotional exhaustion did not predict SCS across time. Career insecurity mediated the cross‐lagged relationship between burnout and SCS. Finally, the findings showed that the negative cross‐lagged relationship between disengagement and SCS was moderated by remaining opportunities, such that the relationship was stronger for individuals low on remaining opportunities. The negative cross‐lagged relationship between emotional exhaustion and SCS was moderated by remaining time, such that the relationship was stronger for individuals low on the remaining time. Implications for practice and future research directions are discussed.
