Abstract
Research shows that work–family experiences, including work–family conflict (WFC) and work–family enrichment (WFE), impact career outcomes. Our study examined the role(s) of job crafting as a personal resource in the relationship between work–family interface and subjective career success (SCS) from the perspective of the JD-R framework. We compared two structural models: a process model (where WFC and WFE were regressed on job crafting and job crafting on SCS) and an antecedent model (where WFE and WFC were directly related to SCS). Results from a sample of 265 South African employees revealed that WFE, WFC, and job crafting related to SCS. Job crafting also indirectly affected the relationships between WFE, WFC, and SCS, emphasizing its role in enhancing career success through a motivational process rather than having a buffering effect. Consequently, employees can be guided to utilize job crafting to empower themselves, align their work–family needs, and achieve their career aspirations.
