Abstract

Based on the perspective of intergenerational differences, this study takes the questionnaire data of 660 enterprise employees as a sample to explore the boundary conditions of the path of “recovery experience → psychological capital → occupational well-being”. The results show that both transactional psychological capital and interpersonal psychological capital have significant mediating effects, and intergenerational differences do play a negative moderating role in the path of “recovery experience → psychological capital → occupational well-being”. And further research shows that the indirect effect of interpersonal psychological capital of Generation Z employees is not significant. Overall, this study complements the research on the boundary conditions of the path of “recovery experience → psychological capital → occupational well-being”, and provides a reference for the effective management of the new generation of employees in practice.
