Abstract
This study examines the influence of supportive work and nonwork environment on employee self-development. We further propose that career self-efficacy and career motivation play mediating roles during the process. Cross-sectional survey data were provided by 418 employees working in a variety of organizations. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling analysis and bootstrap analyses were performed to investigate the hypothesized relationships. Results show that work support and nonwork support for development made unique contributions to employee self-development. The relationship between nonwork support for development and employee self-development is mediated by career self-efficacy and career motivation. The relationship between work support for development and employee self-development is mediated by career motivation. This research expands the support for development from work environment to a broader social environment and clarifies how both work and nonwork supportive environment are positively related to employee self-development. Finally, we discuss the practical implications for personnel selection and career development.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development Quarterly (HRDQ) is the first scholarly journal focused directly on the evolving field of human resource development (HRD). It provides a central focus for research on human resource development issues as well as the means for disseminating such research. HRDQ recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the HRD field and brings together relevant research from the related fields, such as economics, education, management, sociology, and psychology. It provides an important link in the application of theory and research to HRD practice. HRDQ publishes scholarly work that addresses the theoretical foundations of HRD, HRD research, and evaluation of HRD interventions and contexts.
