Abstract(s)
The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether work engagement mediates the
relationship between job crafting and job performance. To this end, the following hypotheses were
formulated: (1) job crafting establishes a positive and significant association with job performance;
(2) job establishes a positive and significant association with work engagement; (3) work engagement establishes a positive and significant association with job performance; (4) work engagement
mediates the association between job crafting and job performance. The sample was composed of
453 participants working in organisations based in Portugal. The hypotheses formulated in this study
were tested by performing simple and multiple linear regressions. The results indicated that only
increasing structural job resources and increasing challenging job demands established a positive
and significant association with task performance. Increasing structural job resources, increasing
social job resources, and increasing challenging job demands established a positive and significant
association with citizenship performance and work engagement. Work engagement established a
positive and significant association with task performance and citizenship performance. Only a partial mediating effect, through work engagement, was observed on the association between increasing
challenging job demands and task performance, and between increasing social job resources and
citizenship performance.
