Abstract
The diminishing labor market supply and pension legislation arising therefrom, has emphasized the need for sustainable careers. In order to map important contextual influencers this study investigated the role of organizations and the social environment of individuals in ensuring these sustainable careers. The influence of adaptability as moderator was also analyzed. This study used the sustainable careers model and the work-home resource model as underlying theories to form the conceptual design. On the basis of the sustainable careers model and the work-home resource model this study expected to find a positive influence of organizational support and private life support on the sustainable career outcomes health, happiness, and productivity. A survey was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The survey took on average 7 minutes to complete and was distributed using the Qualtrics survey program. The answers were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27 program. This study found that organizational support contributed to the sustainable career outcome happiness. Both organizational support and private life support did not influence sustainable careers outcomes health, and negatively influenced productivity. Adaptability was found to strengthen the effect of organizational support and private life support on the sustainable career outcome productivity.
