This dissertation aims to provide insights into how participation in job crafting processes among professionals in the healthcare sector can contribute to their psychological well-being and the subsequent impact on their work engagement. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, having nurses working in the health sector in Portugal as a reference. To investigate the relationships that are established between the variables, several statistical procedures were performed, including a linear regression model and a mediation analysis. The results obtained allow us to identify, on the one hand, significant correlations between job crafting and psychological well-being, between psychological well-being and work engagement, and, finally, between job crafting and work engagement and, in a slightly different approach, a significant, partial effect of mediation of psychological well-being on the relationship that is established between job crafting and work engagement. These results show how important it is for healthcare organizations to recognize the unique needs of their employees and provide support and resources to enable crafting inherent strategies.
