Abstract: This study aims to examine the mediating effect of job crafting on the relationship between job autonomy and career commitment, as well as the moderating effect sense of calling has on job crafting and career commitment. The data for this three-wave study were collected from 350 R&D engineers at 25 high-tech companies in Guangdong Province, China. The PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to analyze the proposed hypotheses. The results revealed that (a) job crafting mediates the positive relationship between job autonomy and career commitment and (b) sense of calling moderates the indirect effect of job autonomy and career commitment through job crafting, such that the indirect effect is stronger in people with higher sense of calling than those with lower sense of calling. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
