Abstract
Due to the many benefits that can be impacted by perceptions of person-job (PJ) fit,
previous research has focused on and found significant correlations between an
individual’s call to work, job crafting behaviors, and PJ fit. How these three variables
interact together, though, is less understood. The aim of the present study was to
determine the manner in which work as a calling and job crafting influence PJ fit,
whether individually or together through mediation. An online survey was distributed to
full-time workers with a minimum of five years of job experience in their current field.
Results provided partial support for the proposed mediated model, concluding that work
as a calling affects PJ fit through certain job crafting behaviors.
