Summary
Schaufeli et al (2002) stated that work engagement is defined as a positive mental condition, providing job-related satisfaction which is defined as vigor, dedication, and absorption. Employees will do everything they can without any coercion because they are already immersed in the work they are doing. Work engagement can be shaped well by many factors, one of which is employee job crafting. Job crafting is a modification of tasks or job characteristics on one’s initiative (Roczniewska and Bakker, 2016). We believe that more job crafting employees are more tied to their jobs than employees with low job crafting. Job crafting has a positive influence on work engagement (Tims, Bakker and Derks, 2014)
