*p < 0.05. aAll hypothesized and additional paths were specified as invariant for both young and old. bAll hypothesized and additional paths were set free for both young and old. The path between psychological support and job satisfaction T0 and the paths between opportunities for development and institutional commitment T0 and T1 were specified as invariant. cAll hypothesized and additional paths were set free for both young and old. dAll hypothesized and additional paths were set free for both young and old. The paths between psychological support and job satisfaction/institutional commitment T0 and the path between influence at work and job satisfaction T1 specified as invariant.
