Abstract

To achieve sustainable development, research has indicated that organizations and individuals should be aware of the significance of sustainable human resource management (HRM) practices. However, relatively little research has investigated individual outcomes. This study links sustainable HRM practices with an important individual outcome: career growth. Using social cognitive career theory, this study investigated psychological capital and career growth as beneficial outcomes of sustainable HRM practices, proposing person–organization (P-O) fit as a key boundary condition. Based on time-lagged survey data collected from a Chinese company, the study found that sustainable HRM practices could significantly promote psychological capital and career growth. Moreover, P-O fit magnified the beneficial impact of sustainable HRM practices on psychological capital while further moderating the mediating effect of psychological capital. When P-O fit was high, the effects of sustainable HRM practices on psychological capital and career growth were stronger. In addition, we discussed theoretical contributions and practical implications.

促进员工职业发展：可持续人力资源管理的好处

研究表明，要实现可持续发展，组织和个人都应认识到可持续人力资源管理（HRM）做法的重要意义。然而，对个人成果的研究相对较少。本研究将可持续人力资源管理实践与一项重要的个人成果--职业成长联系起来。利用社会认知职业理论，本研究调查了心理资本和职业成长作为可持续人力资源管理实践的有益结果，并提出了个人-组织（P-O）契合作为关键的边界条件。基于从一家中国企业收集到的时滞调查数据，研究发现可持续人力资源管理实践能显著促进心理资本和职业成长。此外，P-O契合度放大了可持续人力资源管理实践对心理资本的有利影响，同时进一步调节了心理资本的中介效应。当 P-O 契合度高时，可持续人力资源管理实践对心理资本和职业成长的影响更强。此外，我们还讨论了理论贡献和实践意义。
