Abstract
In this study, the
concept of Job Crafting, which has begun to be made in Turkish literature, has
been discussed. In this context, the impact of Job Commitment on Work
Commitment, which is an independent variable, has been investigated. The sample
of the study is composed of human resources managers working in various
provinces and sectors in the Mediterranean region in Turkey. In this context,
data were obtained from 230 managers. In order to measure the job crafting of
employees, a 21-item scale which was developed by Tims et al. (2012) and
adapted to Turkish by Akın et al. (2014) was used. Work engagement is measured
by the 9-item scale developed by Schaufeli and Bakker (2003) and adapted into
Turkish by Özkalp and Meydan (2015). In this study, SPSS 22 and LISREL 8.80
statistical packages were used. Descriptive statistics and correlation and
regression analyzes were used in this study. As a result of the research; The
positive and significant effects of increasing structural job resources,
increasing social job resources and increasing the challenging job demands on
work engagement’s dimensions have been determined.
