This study aimed to investigate the role of selection, optimization and compensation (SOC) strategies as a moderator on the relationship between occupational future time perspective (OFTP) and affective commitment. Drawing on Conservation of Resource (COR) Theory, we argued that the relationship between OFTP and affective commitment was strengthened when the levels of SOC strategies were high. Data were collected from a private company in Indonesia (N = 202) using temporal separation method, in which predictors data were taken two weeks before the outcome data. Data were analyzed using Hayes-s PROCESS macro on SPSS software. Contrary to our expectation, results showed that the relationship between OFTP and affective commitment was positive and significant when the levels of SOC strategies were low, but the relationship became non-significant when the levels of SOC strategies were high. Theoretical and practical implications are further discussed.
