Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between motivational career resources and subjective career success across time, and to determine the mediating role of job crafting in these relationships. A two-wave longitudinal study was conducted with a sample of 193 full-time business professionals. Results indicated that motivational career resources positively relate to subjective career success assessed concurrently and longitudinally. Additionally, motivational career resources predicted an increase in subjective career success over a six-month period, after controlling for baseline levels of motivational career resources. Bootstrapped tests of mediation revealed that motivational career resources exerted a significant indirect effect on subjective career success through its associations with job crafting behavior. This study suggests that career resources have an impact on employee career success over time through job crafting.
