Abstract
The present study extends research related to callings by examining the impact a calling has on other work domains. Specifically, we examine callings in relation to the understudied concept of dual jobholding; an employment arrangement in which an individual holds two jobs. We draw from spillover theory and interrole conflict theory to examine if holding a second job viewed as a calling affects one's work engagement at their primary job. Results suggest holding a second job viewed as a calling impacts the relationship between second job-to-primary job resource drain and primary job work engagement. The findings from the study add to a slim body of literature highlighting vulnerabilities associated with callings. In addition, previous research typically assumes individuals hold only one job, and dual jobholding is a prevalent employment arrangement, thus the present study sheds light on an important and understudied topic for research and practice alike.
