Barrero Ahedo, Jesús P. 669 600 0000-0001-5751-414X 2026-10-09T11:37:27Z 2026-10-09T11:37:27Z 2026 2731-4537 https://hdl.handle.net/10259/12264 10.1007/s44202-026-00795-4 2731-4537 Workplace well-being is strongly influenced by interpersonal relationships, although less is known about whether the benefits of high-quality workplace ties vary across demographic characteristics. This study examines whether employee age and gender moderate the relationship between the quality of relationships with supervisors and coworkers and affective–relational workplace well-being. Using data from the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, the results show that both supervisor and coworker relationships are positively and significantly associated with workplace well-being, with a slightly stronger effect for hierarchical relationships. Moderation analyses indicate that age weakens these associations, suggesting that relational quality is more relevant for younger employees. No significant moderating effect of gender is observed, which may suggest that the relationship under study tends to be similar for men and women in this context. These findings contribute to the literature by integrating relational and lifespan perspectives to explain how workplace relationships influence well-being across the career span. From a practical perspective, the results highlight the importance of designing age-sensitive interventions, particularly at early career stages, while suggesting that core relational conditions such as support, fairness, and cooperation are broadly relevant across gender groups. application/pdf eng Discover Discover Psychology. 2026, V. 6, art. 250 https://doi.org/10.1007/s44202-026-00795-4 Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Coworker Interrelation Superior Well-being at work Age-based differences Relaciones interpersonales Psicología industrial Interpersonal relations Psychology, Industrial The impact of workplace relationships on employee well-being moderated by age and gender info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Discover Psychology 6 1 THUMBNAIL Barrero-dp_2026.pdf.jpg Barrero-dp_2026.pdf.jpg IM Thumbnail image/jpeg 4608 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/12264/4/Barrero-dp_2026.pdf.jpg 1c82cb56cf08aefc1412ba89c7b531c0 MD5 4 LICENSE license.txt license.txt text/plain; charset=utf-8 1362 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/12264/3/license.txt 5d013bfa6e473ff0db22cd82a4d71a70 MD5 3 CC-LICENSE license_rdf license_rdf application/rdf+xml; charset=utf-8 908 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/12264/2/license_rdf 0175ea4a2d4caec4bbcc37e300941108 MD5 2 ORIGINAL Barrero-dp_2026.pdf Barrero-dp_2026.pdf application/pdf 1679416 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/12264/1/Barrero-dp_2026.pdf dda7a6a5b013bce3b152024001ee6143 MD5 1 10259/12264 oai:riubu.ubu.es:10259/12264 2026-10-10 02:05:26.957 Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos bubrep@ubu.es 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
