Abstract: Purpose - The job content plateau (JCP) is a condition in which employees regard their jobs as routine, and it has been linked to employee turnover intentions and organisational dysfunctional consequences. As a result, the purpose of this study is to see how negative effects of JCP can be avoided. Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual framework has been created and empirically tested that takes into account intervening elements such as job crafting (JCF) and proactive personality (PP) between JCP and career commitment (CC). In this study, survey data from professionals in a variety of businesses were gathered based on position level, total years of experience and educational level. To assess the efficacy of the suggested model and test the hypothesis proposition, confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regressions were used. Findings - The study’s findings demonstrated that JCF plays a mediating function between JCP and CC, allowing proactive executives to lead their CC while minimizing JCP’s negative effects. Originality/value - This study will have interesting implications and recommendations for practitioners and strategy makers when it comes to assessing the impact of JCP on enhancing career commitment among Indian executives.
