Protean Career Attitudes, Employability and Subjective Career Success: The Mediating Role of Job Crafting

Abstract

This study examined the mediating role of job crafting behaviors in the relationships between employees’ protean career attitudes and career outcomes. The data were collected from 406 employees and their supervisors. The results from this study showed that self-directed career management had a positive relationship with perceived employability through job crafting behaviors. This study also found that job crafting behaviors positively affects employees’ perceived employability. These findings clearly showed that employees themselves play a significant role in actively shaping and influencing their work environment and outcomes.
