The Role of Organizational Commitment in Career Sustainability Affecting Employees' Innovative Behaviors:Based on Social Exchange Theory

Abstract

Abstract: Some studies have already been done on the impact of career sustainability on employees' innovative behaviors (EIB), but the internal motivation mechanism of this impact is still unclear. Based on the Social Exchange Theory, this study explores the mediating effect of the organizational commitment in career sustainability affecting EIB, and analyzes the moderation effect of the education level on this influence mechanism. Taking employees as the research object, the empirical study is carried out by mathematical statistical analysis of 1261 valid samples. The results are as follows: Firstly, career sustainability has a significant positive impact on EIB; Secondly, the affective commitment, the normative commitment and the continued commitment have mediating effects on the relationship between career sustainability and EIB; Thirdly, the education level significantly negatively moderates the mediating effect of three types of organizational commitments on career sustainability and EIB.

Key words: Career Sustainability, Organizational Commitment, Employees' Innovative Behaviors, Social Exchange Theory

摘要： 职业可持续性对员工创新行为的影响已取得一定的研究成果,但职业可持续性对员工创新行为影响的内在动机机制仍不明确。本研究基于社会交换理论,探究组织承诺在职业可持续性对员工创新行为影响的中介作用机制,并分析教育水平对该机制的调节影响。以企业员工为研究对象,通过对1261份有效样本进行数理统计,研究发现:职业可持续性对组织承诺与员工创新行为具有显著的正向影响;情感承诺、规范承诺和持续承诺在职业可持续性与员工创新行为的关系中具有中介效应;教育水平负向显著调节三种组织承诺在职业可持续性与员工创新行为间的中介作用。
