<![CDATA[Private university lecturers in Indonesia face persistent research demands while working within uneven institutional research ecosystems. Although research productivity is often discussed, less attention has been given to the psychological pathway through which a supportive research environment strengthens lecturers’ well-being. This cross-sectional study examined whether research resilience and career calling serially accounted for the association between perceived research environment and job flourishing. Participants were 109 lecturers at Indonesian private universities. Partial least squares structural equation modeling, reflective–reflective higher-order constructs, and 5,000 bootstrap samples were used. Perceived research environment was positively associated with research resilience and job flourishing but was not directly associated with career calling. Contrary to the directional hypotheses, research resilience was negatively associated with career calling, and career calling was negatively associated with job flourishing. The serial indirect association was positive (β = .085, 95% confidence interval [.037, .174]), while the positive direct association remained (β = .284, 95% confidence interval [.097, .471]), indicating complementary partial mediation. The model explained 46.4% of job-flourishing variance. The findings suggested that supportive research conditions were associated with flourishing, whereas career calling could have a double-edged role in demanding academic contexts.]]>
