Abstract
SILVA LOURO, Evânia and DAVID GABARDO-MARTINS, Larissa Maria. The mediation of work engagement in resource relations with job crafting. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.2, e2867. Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 1688-4094. https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v17i2.2867.
The Work Demands and Resources Model advocates the existence of a positive relationship between resources and job crafting, and the mediation of work engagement. This study aimed to understand the relationship between social support at work (work resource) and the fear of missing out at work (emotional state) with the factor increasing job crafting resources, as well as the mediating role of work engagement. The sample consisted of 703 workers from different professions and of both sexes (90.6 % female). The results of the structural equation modeling showed that social support at work, fear of missing out at work, and work engagement were positively related to the job crafting resource increase factor. Work engagement partially mediated the positive relationship between social support at work and fear of missing out at work and the factor increasing job crafting resources. These results offer different theoretical and practical contributions to the field of organizational psychology, allowing for advances in knowledge about the nomological network of relationships between social support at work and fear of being disconnected with job crafting, with engagement as a mediator.
