Abstract Research has shown that affective commitment, one of three components of organizational commitment defined by Meyer and Allen (1991), can act as a moderator in relationships between job stressors and worker´s psychological tension. However, due to the scarcity of studies that investigate the moderating effect of this commitment component on relationships between positive variables, the purpose of this study is to examine the moderating role of affective commitment in the relationship between autonomy, peer support, supervisory support and perceived organizational support (POS), as job resources, on engagement. In this sense, we analyzed the data provided by a sample of Portuguese employees (N = 554), from an organization belonging to the consultancy sector. Firstly, we aimed to examine the direct effects of those job resources on engagement, and, then, examine the impact of affective commitment as a moderator on these relationships. The results partially support the hypotheses formulated. Indeed, there was a positive relationship between the job resources studied - work autonomy, peer support, supervisory support and POS - and engagement. Furthermore, according to our hypothesis, the interaction established between affective commitment and autonomy, significantly exacerbates the positive effect of this job resource on workers well-being, that is, on their engagement (b = .08, p < .05). However, contrary to our hypothesis, the affective commitment does not moderate the relationship between the other job resources and engagement. This study contributes to a deepest knowledge about the potentialities of affective commitment, reinforcing the importance of consider it as a contextual resource.

This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between the discretion of street-level bureaucrats and their willingness to implement as well as between discretion and client meaningfulness by testing street-level bureaucrat theory in a different context. The effect of discretion on willingness to implement and client meaningfulness may differ due to perceived supervisory support. Data from 241 bureaucrats (labor inspectors) in the Malaysian Ministry of Human Resources indicated that discretion significantly influences bureaucrats’ willingness to implement and client meaningfulness. Critically, the moderating role of perceived supervisory support augmented only the positive impact of discretion on client meaningfulness; for example, this relationship is more significant among bureaucrats who perceive high supervisory support. This study sheds new light on the notable role of supervisory support in ensuring that discretion enhances client meaningfulness and willingness to implement.

The purpose of this study was to determine the moderating role of supervisory support on the relationship between organizational career management and career satisfaction of employees of selected five private insurance companies in Ghana. A survey method was used to collate information from 167 employees who work in the studied organizations through a simple random sampling approach. The descriptive, correlation, multiple regression, and the moderated multiple regression analysis were used to test the research hypothesis and their results showed three important findings: firstly, organizational career management positively and significantly correlates and had an impact on career satisfaction. Secondly, supervisory support positively and significantly correlates and had an impact on career satisfaction. Lastly, the moderating role of supervisory support was established to be positive and significant on the relationship between organizational career management and career satisfaction. The outcome contributes to the Job Demand Resource (JD-R) theory such that organizational career management and supervisory support could be employed as organizational resources to produce career satisfaction. The study suggests that more attention and commitment should be given to organizational career management and supervisory support by the management of the private insurance companies to promote the career satisfaction of their employees.
