Impact of perceived organizational culture on job involvement and subjective well-being: A moderated mediation model

Drawing upon the competing values framework and flow theory, we conducted an empirical study to examine the predictive role of perceived organizational developmental culture (PODC) on subjective well-being (SWB), and further explored its mechanism and boundary conditions. Participants were 229 Chinese employees who completed measures of PODC, perceived organizational rational culture (PORC), job involvement, and SWB. Results showed that job involvement mediated the relationship between PODC and SWB, and that PORC not only strengthened the relationship between PODC and job involvement, but also moderated the mediating effect. We have highlighted the importance of emphasizing both the future growth and present time achievement orientation types of perceived organizational culture to increase employees’ SWB.
