Purpose: Research on job crafting has thus far focused on how alter job demand and resources behaviors relate to employee task performance. However, job crafting behaviors do not necessarily have an impact only on task performance, but also on employees' contextual performance, a phenomenon that has little research in job crafting research. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of job crafting on task performance or contextual performance and the mediating effect of work engagement between them in the Chinese context. Research design, data and methodology: In order to achieve the above research goals and test the proposed hypotheses, we used a cross-sectional design and a self-administered questionnaire to collect quantitative data from September 8, 2021 to September 27, 2021 among knowledge workers in Shandong Province various financial companies and finally analyzed 211 questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and research model analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0 Version and AMOS 27.0 Version to test the developed hypotheses. Results: The results are as follows; firstly, the study showed that job crafting of employees had a significant positive impact on task performance and contextual performance. Secondly, the higher job crafting of employees, the higher their work engagement. Thirdly, this study showed that work engagement of employees had a positive impact on task performance and contextual performance. Fourthly, we predicted and found that work engagement of employees had a positive mediating effect between job crafting and task performance and a positive mediating effect between job crafting and contextual performance. Overall, this study showed that the proactive job crafting behaviors of employees enhance their engagement for their work, which in turn improves task performance and contextual performance. Conclusions: This paper develops job crafting research by exploring the positive impact of job crafting on employees' task performance or contextual performance through their work engagement. It also proposes that both job crafting behaviors and work engagement are important approaches to improve employees' task performance or contextual performance. Practical implications for organizations, such as increasing employee' work engagement, as well as the limitations and suggestions are concluded for the future research directions.

Background: We examined the association between supervisor consultation, as an actual practice representing supervisor support, and work engagement. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study in Japan, involving 14,026 participants who met the requirement for a one-year follow-up. Supervisor consultation was measured using a single question, and work engagement was defined using the Japanese version of the nine-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Associations were examined using linear regression analysis. Results: Supervisor consultation was positively associated with work engagement after adjusting for gender, age, education, income, and industry (𝛽 = 3.474; p < 0.001). The relationship remained significant after adjustment for perceived supervisor support, although the coefficient decreased (𝛽 = 1.315; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Supervisor consultation probably acted on work engagement in different ways than perceived supervisor support.

Employee engagement plays an important role in the development as well as the success of a company. The manner in which employees are committed to their work and be more innovative seems to drive people's curiosity. This study aims to analyze the impacts of job demands-resources, personal resources, and coworker support on work engagement. Also, whether there is a relationship between work engagement and creativity of employees is tested through this research. The data served for the research was collected in the context of Vietnamese small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The authors used structural equation modeling (SEM) (software Smart PLS), to test the proposed hypotheses by using the data of 602 employees. Results of the study point out that proposed antecedents influence work engagement and creativity. Such findings have shed light on both theory and practice implications. In theory, it supports the social exchange theory and the job demands and resources model. In practice, leaders should assist subordinates in various aspects and build and promote a corporate culture where employees help others with great enthusiasm to increase the level of work engagement and spirit of innovation of employees.

This study examines the role of effective human resource practices and work-life balance in various organizations and their relationship with employee engagement. The data for this study were obtained from 723 employees from various industries in Java. The result suggests that human resource practice alone did not influence employee engagement. However the human resource policy helps develop a sense of WLB for an employee, which in the long run will affect the level of engagement. Thus, work-life balance enables the relationship between employees and their workplace. This study also encompasses current literature regarding huan resource policies in understanding employee engagement through work-life balance. This study provides exploratory findings regarding HR function practices, WLB, and employee involvement in service organizations. It proved that participants from four organizations reported very positive impressions about HR practices and they were also very involved in their work and organization. While their balance still needs to be improved, this may imply that the participants are not happy with their work lives. The main finding of this study is that WLB plays a mediating role in the relationship between HR practices and employee engagement. This means that organizations need to find ways to help employees achieve a better WLB.

Research design, data and methodology: 236 survey data were collected and analyzed using SPSS 22 and AMOS 22. For the assessment of the goodness of fit of the models, indexes such as TLI, CFI, RMSEA were used. For hypotheses testing, we used SEM method and bootstrapping. Results: The results of this study are as follows. First, the relationship between nepotism and the employee's work engagement was not significant. Second, it was revealed that nepotism negatively affects the leader's legitimacy. Third, it was found that a leader's legitimacy had a positive effect on the employees' work engagement. Fourth, leader legitimacy was found to mediate the relationship between nepotism and employees' work engagement. Conclusion: We found that the effect of nepotism can be changed depending on contingent factors. This study contributed to the accumulation of nepotism theory by demonstrating the process in which nepotism, which has been insufficient so far, affects outcome variables. Based on the empirical results of this study, theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future research directions were discussed.

중국의 급속한 경제 성장은 지속되고 있으나 창의성 측면은 아직 요원하다. 중국 기업의 관리자들은 직원들이 보다 효율적으로 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 장려하는 노하우가 아직 부족하다. 한편 중국 기업에서 일하고 있는 대부분의 직원들은 자신의 업무에 몰입하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 때로는 자신의 업무가 의미가 없다고 생각하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 배경에서 변혁적 리더십은 중국 IT 기업에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 중국 심천에 소재한 IT기업에서 근무하는 직원들을 대상으로 업무 및 업무 참여의 의미에 대한 인식을 통해 변혁적 리더십이 직원의 창의력에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 사례 IT기업에 근무하는 직원들을 대상으로 광범위한 설문조사를 실시하여 140개의 유효 데이터를 수집하였다. 자료의 통계분석은 SPSS와 AMOS를 이용하였다. 분석결과 일과 노동 참여의 의미를 통한 변혁적 리더십이 직원의 창의력에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이에 대한 학술적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.
