provinces and sectors in the Mediterranean region in Turkey. In this context,
data were obtained from 230 managers. In order to measure the job crafting of
employees, a 21-item scale which was developed by Tims et al. (2012) and
adapted to Turkish by Akın et al. (2014) was used. Work engagement is measured
by the 9-item scale developed by Schaufeli and Bakker (2003) and adapted into
Turkish by Özkalp and Meydan (2015). In this study, SPSS 22 and LISREL 8.80
statistical packages were used. Descriptive statistics and correlation and
