Abstract: This study investigates the influence of quality of work life on subjective career, explores the affective process through which the influence occurs, and highlights the generational constraints in the process.A moderated-mediation model was developed by integrating the affective events theory with the prior literature on quality of work life.Data included measures of quality of work life, the positive and negative affect schedule as well as three states of subjective career of the Japanese employees.The proposed relationships were tested with robust data analytic techniques on a sample of 442 employees.The results are consistent with the hypothesized conceptual scheme that the influence of quality of work life on subjective career is mediated by the affective states of the employees, and it is moderated by generation.Specifically, the influence of quality of work life on a negative affective state along with the overall influence on career mist and career drift via a negative affective state is significantly higher for the millennials than the non-millennials.However, there are no significant generational differences in the framework of quality of work life and career hope via a positive affective state.These results have been discussed in this dissertation along with the implications.
