Abstract

Drawing on the identity, job crafting, and sensemaking literature, this research investigates how occupational identity threat is positively related to individual job crafting (i.e., approach crafting and avoidance crafting) and how approach crafting transforms occupational identity threat to higher job engagement and improved job performance. We also propose that individuals' regulatory focus moderates these relationships. Based on a multi-wave, multi-source survey study, the results supported most of our hypotheses.
