ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the relationship between participation in decision making and social support at work with role performance at work, as well as the mediator role of work prosperity and the moderator role of self-efficacy. Originality/value: The study contributes to the enhancement of the monological net of the concept of prosperity at work, by testing a model that includes other rather neglected constructs as antecedents and consequents of prosperity at work, and by analyzing the role of a personal asset in these relationships, based on the demands-resources model (JD-R). Design/methodology/approach: This is an empirical study, with a quantitative approach of correlational nature, that tested seven hypotheses. The data were collected with self-report questionnaires, and analyzed with structural equation modelling. Findings: All hypotheses were corroborated and indicated that: participation in the decision making and social support have a positive impact on prosperity at work; prosperity at work has a mediation role in the relation between these variables and role performance at work; self-efficacy moderates the positive relations of participation at work and social support with prosperity at work, increasing these relations. The study has important implications for the literature in the field, contributing to the application of the model of prosperity at work to Brazilian samples. Organizations may benefit from these findings if the policies that enhance prosperity are implemented in the organizational environment, obtaining competitive advantage.
