Building upon the job demands-resources and conservation of resources theories, the central aim of the study was to investigate the role of job resources crafting in the relationship between personal resources – self-efficacy and optimism – and work engagement. In order to reach this goal, we conducted a two- -wave longitudinal study among 107 nurses – a specific occupational group known to have very high job demands. We assessed personal resources and job resources crafting behaviors at Time 1, and work engagement at Time 2 (one month after). The results of our two-wave longitudinal study provided support for the hypothesized research model. When nurses reported high levels of personal resources at Time 1, they were also more inclined to craft structural and social job resources. This, in turn, led to higher work engagement at Time 2. The findings of this study indicate that, even if employees work in unfavorable work situations, they can mobilize their personal resources and experience high work engagement by proactive interaction with their work environment.

个人资源和工作投入：两方面研究护士在工作资源制定中的作用

基于工作需求-资源和资源保护理论，这项研究的主要目的是研究工作资源在个人资源（自我效能感和乐观主义）与工作投入之间的关系中的作用。为了实现这一目标，我们在107名护士中进行了两波纵向研究，这是一个已知对工作有很高要求的特定职业群体。我们在时间1评估了个人资源和工作资源的制作行为，在时间2（一个月后）评估了工作投入。我们的两波纵向研究的结果为假设的研究模型提供了支持。当护士在时间1报告较高的个人资源时，他们也更倾向于构建结构性和社会性工作资源。反过来，这导致了第二时间的更高的工作投入。
