Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a theoretical framework that explores the mediating effect of JC between PsyCap, HPWS, and Employee Wellbeing, drawing on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and the JD–R Model. Methods: The method consists of synthesizing the literature to develop a structured conceptual model that incorporates individual and organizational resources. This paper indicates that PsyCap and HPWS are directly positively related to employee wellbeing, although previous research has yielded contradictory findings, suggesting the existence of a mediating process. Job crafting is suggested to represent a mechanism through which psychological and organizational resources translate into meaningful work experiences that can enhance well-being. This study is unique by integrating PsyCap and HPWS in a single model mediated through job crafting, which has rarely been jointly considered as a whole in prior studies. From a practical standpoint, our model emphasizes the value of creating supportive work environments where employees are encouraged to be proactive in (re)shaping their jobs with respect to which resources they require and/or expend both of which would contribute to sustainable wellbeing and performance.
