The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of work engagement on job crafting and innovativeness in the Indian information technology (IT) industry. The authors also theorized and examined the moderating effect of perceived supervisory support (PSS) and openness-to-experience (OTE) in aforementioned relationships respectively.,The authors base their arguments on the job-demands and resource (JDR) theoretical model and broaden-and-build theory. Field data from 377 working IT professionals were collected using the survey method. The model was tested using partial least squares (PLS) technique.,Results support the main effects hypothesis. The authors find a significant and positive relationship between work engagement and job crafting behavior and innovativeness.,The study makes a reasonable contribution to existing knowledge on work engagement and its outcomes. However, the use of cross-sectional data may constrain causal inferences.,Innovativeness and job crafting behaviors are valuable to most organizations, but more critical in IT organizations. As illustrated in this paper, work-engaged employees display higher levels of innovativeness and job-crafting behavior. These results suggest that IT organizations should focus on work-engagement for better productivity and faster growth.,This study is an attempt towards a better understanding of work engagement and its micro level individual outcomes which have not been examined earlier.

印度IT行业的工作投入，工作技巧和创新能力

本文的目的是研究印度信息技术（IT）行业中工作投入对工作制定和创新的影响。作者还对上述关系中的感知监督支持（PSS）和开放经验（OTE）的调节作用进行了理论化和检验。作者基于工作需求和资源（JDR）理论模型论证了他们的观点，并拓宽了他们的观点。和建造理论。使用调查方法收集了来自377位在职IT专业人员的现场数据。使用偏最小二乘（PLS）技术对模型进行了测试。结果支持主要影响假设。作者发现工作投入，工作制定行为与创新之间存在显着且积极的关系。该研究为有关工作投入及其成果的现有知识做出了合理的贡献。但是，使用横截面数据可能会限制因果关系的推论。创新和工作制定行为对大多数组织而言都是有价值的，但在IT组织中则更为关键。如本文所述，敬业的员工表现出更高的创新能力和工作习惯。这些结果表明，IT组织应将重点放在工作投入上，以提高生产率和更快地增长。本研究旨在更好地了解工作投入及其微观层面的个人成果，而此前并未对此进行研究。但在IT组织中更为关键。如本文所述，敬业的员工表现出更高的创新能力和工作制定行为。这些结果表明，IT组织应将重点放在工作投入上，以提高生产率和更快地增长。本研究旨在更好地了解工作投入及其微观层面的个人成果，而此前并未对此进行研究。但在IT组织中更为关键。如本文所述，敬业的员工表现出更高的创新能力和工作习惯。这些结果表明，IT组织应将重点放在工作投入上，以提高生产率和更快地增长。本研究旨在更好地了解工作投入及其微观层面的个人成果，而此前并未对此进行研究。
