The Impact of Job Crafting Towards Performance with Work Engagement as a Mediator among High School Teachers in South Tangerang, Indonesia

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic diminishes teachers' performance and job crafting could affect it. Literature studies have consistently potrayed that the impact of job crafting towards performance is inconsistent. This could suggest that there is a mediator affecting their relationship. This study examines if work engagement could be a mediator between the job crafting and performance. This study used an online survey with 80 high school teachers in South Tangerang as the participants, and results showed that work engagement mediates the impact of job crafting towards performance partially (b=0.083, 95%CI [0.0075, 0.198]). Additional analysis reveals that among dimensions of work engagement, dedication has the largest effect in mediating the relationship between job crafting towards performance. It implies that dedication is an essential element that affects performance among teachers.
