We examined the relationship between two support types, perceived social support (PSS) and online support, and well-being measures (meaning in life, depression, and loneliness) in the new setting. Based on the literature, we hypothesized that (a) PSS and online support positively relate to personal resilience and optimism, (b) resilience and optimism positively associate with well-being levels, and (c) resilience and optimism mediate the association between both types of support and well-being. Two waves of data (T1 & T2) were collected in the current study. The results largely reflected the propositions, with some deviations from the expected model, and indicated that resilience was the more prominent mediator at both T1 and T2. A complex pattern of relationships was documented between various types of virtual support and well-being. Women who received social support could foster a positive, optimistic future perspective experience and an increased sense of meaning in their lives. This study engendered implications for organizations’ appropriate preparation of relocating staff, in general, and the relocation of women employees, in particular. 2021 artículo científico 1576-5962 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=231369562004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231369562004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231369562004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231369562004/231369562004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231369562004/movil 10.5093/jwop2021a11 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2313 Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones application/pdf Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones (España) Num.2 Vol.37
