Abstract

Purpose: The prevalence of crafting tasks in the workplace is rising in today's enterprises. Little is known about the underlying mechanisms of job crafting as of now. In this study, we examine how psychological capital plays a mediating role in the reciprocal relationship between job crafting and work engagement.Design/Methodology/Approach: The necessary information for the analysis was gathered from Pakistani higher education institution faculty members, with a sample size of 240 faculty members. To test these hypotheses, we employed SmartPLS.Findings: The study's conclusions show that psychological capital plays a role in mediating the reciprocal relationship between work engagement and job crafting. According to this study a person who is confident, hopeful, resilient, and self-efficient asks for more job resources and challenges at work.Implications/Originality/Value: By examining the reciprocal association between work engagement and job crafting behavior among Pakistani academic members, the study genuinely contributes in policy designing for employees who are more engaged at work and having high psychological capital are more motivated to craft their jobs at work.
