Abstract

A sense of job as a calling (JAC) relates to the worker's intrinsic motivation to perform his daily tasks and a willingness to modify daily tasks and resources needed to carry out the tasks successfully. This proactive behavior will improve a worker's well-being and engagement. Moreover, this contribution will enable organizations to achieve sustainable organizational success. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of JAC, job crafting, and employee engagement as an essential aspect of achieving sustainable organizational success. A total of 275 teachers participated in this study. All hypotheses had tested using path analysis with WarpPLS. Conceptually, all dimensions of job crafting are acknowledged to have a significant effect, but the results showed that JAC significantly affects only the two dimensions of job crafting. While decreasing hindering job demands and increasing social job resources were not significantly mediated JAC and employee engagement. Having a calling in the work context drive teachers to craft their tasks at all costs. In the longer term, this will lead to organizational sustainability. In this study, we also discussed the implications for organizations and future research.
