The current research examines the combined role of proactive personality and political skill in job crafting and work engagement by integrating the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and trait activation theory. Self-reported survey responses collected from three samples – university students (study 1, N = 363) and panel data (study 2, N = 300 and study 3, N = 206) – were analyzed using the PROCESS macro. Results revealed that political skill strengthened the relationship between proactive personality and work engagement and between proactive personality and job crafting when trait activated. Furthermore, perceived supervisor support did not interact with the job crafting–work engagement relationship with trait activation, suggesting that proactive individuals rely on self-resources to improve engagement when presented with trait-relevant situational cues. The findings extend JD-R theory to offer the interplay of proactive trait and political skill in facilitating overall job crating. JD-R is identified as a contextual condition for trait activation.

目前的研究通过整合工作需求-资源 (JD-R) 模型和特质激活理论来检验主动人格和政治技能在工作重塑和工作投入中的综合作用。从三个样本中收集的自我报告调查回复——大学生（研究 1，N = 363）和面板数据（研究 2，N = 300 和研究 3，N= 206) – 使用 PROCESS 宏进行分析。结果表明，当特质激活时，政治技能加强了主动人格与工作投入之间的关系，以及主动人格与工作重塑之间的关系。此外，感知到的主管支持并没有与具有特质激活的工作塑造-工作投入关系相互作用，这表明积极主动的个人在遇到与特质相关的情境线索时依靠自我资源来提高参与度。研究结果扩展了 JD-R 理论，提供了积极主动的特质和政治技巧在促进整体工作评分方面的相互作用。JD-R 被确定为特征激活的上下文条件。
