The influence of calling on work engagement has attended to practitioners and researchers in recent years. However, there are few studies on the influence factor between living a calling and work engagement. This study explored the relationship between living a calling, job crafting, regulatory focus and work engagement for knowledged workers. Excluding the invalid questionnaires, 390 valid samples were obtained, with a validity rate of 59%.
The findings in this study are as follows. First, living a calling enables knowledged workers to experience more work significance and real self, which has a profound and important positive impact on their work and life. When they live a calling, they will do their best to craft their own jobs with strong work enthusiasm and psychological strength. Second, crafting challenging job demands can bring job stimulation and work fun to knowledged workers, thereby it can improve their work engagement.
