Abstract

This study revisits the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory based on the Malaysian context with the attachment of workaholism as a personal demand. A total of 199 respondents’ data was collected by online self-administered questionnaire longitudinally (T1 and T2, with a six-month lag) and largely cross-sectionally (questionnaires for job crafting and self-undermining were attached in T2 only). Path-coefficient analysis through PLS-SEM was performed to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that the JD-R theory is equally valid for Malaysian employees to increase their work engagement, as in the literature for Western cultures. Future studies can be conducted based on a multi-country and longitudinal basis.
