Cultivating Well-being of Nurses Through Job Crafting: The Moderating Effect of Job and Personal Resources

Abstract

We look into the way nurses’ job crafting perception (POC) affects their job crafting behaviour (JC) and, as a result, their well-being (WB). Further, the moderating function of personal and job resources (JR) is also scrutinised. We collected primary data from 773 nurses working in 12 private sector and public sector hospitals in Northern Indian states using a standardised questionnaire and deployed structural equation modelling to examine the hypothesised linkages. The empirical findings exposed that POC significantly predicts JC. Second, JC significantly ameliorates nurses’ hedonic and eudaimonic WB. Finally, personal resources (PR) intensify the influence of POC on JC, whereas JR do not. The findings imply that POC cultivates nurses’ JC behaviour, which, in turn, enhances their WB and PR catalyses this driver impact.
