Abstract
Employees' engagement is effected by the resources they have to fulfill job demands and their level of job crafting. In this study, we investigated the mediating role of employees' coping skills on the relationship among individual resources, job crafting, and engagement in the context of job demands and resources. For this purpose, the research hypotheses were tested by applying quantitative analyses of the data collected from 276 employees using the questionnaire method through the core self-evaluations, coping with stress, job engagement, and job crafting scales. The findings have shown that coping and job crafting have a significant sequential mediating role on the effect of positive core self-evaluations on job engagement. It has been evaluated employees’ personal resources positively effect job engagement through coping abilities and job crafting. The findings were discussed in the context of the literature and it has been suggested that the job demands-resources model can be expanded with the concept of coping.
