Abstract

This research tests aims to verify in a sample of bridge workers (192) the mediating role of occupational self-efficacy on the relationship between availability of blended work and opportunity for knowledge-sharing with younger workers (or opportunities for generativity), as well as life satisfaction and innovative work behaviour. The results of bootstrap show that the availability of blended work has an indirect effect on life satisfaction and innovative work behaviour via occupational self-efficacy. Also, they reveal that the opportunity for knowledge transfer to younger workers, or generativity, impacts the life satisfaction and innovative work behaviour via occupational self-efficacy.
