Individual Crafting, Collaborative Crafting, and Job Satisfaction: The Mediator Role of Engagement

Abstract

espanolLa mayor parte de las teorias de job crafting han estudiado el termino como una actividad individual. Pocas investigaciones se han centrado en el crafting colaborativo. El presente estudio tiene dos objetivos. Se pretende adaptar y validar la version espanola de la escala de crafting individual y colaborativo. Ademas, se pretende poner a prueba un modelo de mediacion simple del engagement sobre la relacion entre el crafting individual y colaborativo y la satisfaccion laboral. La muestra esta formada por 301 personas. El analisis de datos se llevo a cabo con el programa Smart PLS v. 3.2.6. usando minimos cuadrados parciales (PLS). Los resultados muestran que la escala de crafting individual y colaborativo en castellano es valida y fiable. Ademas, existe una mediacion completa del engagement en la relacion job crafting-satisfaccion. El modelo hipotetizado explica un 78.4% de la varianza de la satisfaccion laboral. EnglishMost theories of job crafting understand the term to refer to an individual activity, and only a few studies have focused on collaborative job crafting. The present study has two aims. First, to adapt and validate a Spanish version of the Individual and Collaborative Crafting Scale. Second, to test a simple mediation model of engagement on the relationship between individual and collaborative crafting and job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 301 people. The data were analyzed using the Smart PLS statistical program, version 3.2.6., using the partial least squares (PLS) path modeling method. The results reveal that the Spanish language version of the Individual and Collaborative Crafting Scale is both valid and reliable. Moreover, engagement was found to fully mediate the relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction, with the hypothesized model explaining 78.4% of the variance observed in job satisfaction.
