ABSTRACT = {Occupational well-being is optimal psychological functioning and 
experience in the workplace. This study examined the role of opportunities for 
career development as a mechanism that links supervisor’s transformational 
leadership and subordinates’ occupational well-being manifested by work 
engagement. Specifically, drawing on conservation of resources theory (COR), 
we developed a dual pathway model in which opportunities for promotion and 
for professional development were posited as two important mediators in the 
relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement. The 
hypotheses were tested with a sample of 215 Chinese civil servants. The results 
of structural equation modeling showed that a supervisor’s transformational 
leadership was positively related to subordinates’ work engagement. This 
association was partially mediated by opportunities for professional development 
and not mediated by opportunities for promotion. Implications for theory and 
practice are discussed.},
