    Este trabajo investiga los diversos papeles mediadores de la implicación y el compromiso laborales que hay en la relación entre job crafting y satisfacción. En el estudio participaron 247 profesores de educación en tecnología eléctrica/electrónica de universidades nigerianas. Como análisis de datos se calculó la correlación bivariada, la regresión y el análisis de rutas mediante el método de bootstrap de 5.000 muestras con corrección de sesgos, así como el análisis de factores confirmatorio. Los resultados mostraron que el job crafting predice positivamente y de modo significativo la implicación y el compromiso laborales, así como la satisfacción. También se comprobó que la implicación y el compromiso laborales predicen positiva y significativamente la satisfacción laboral. Los resultados del análisis de rutas mostraron que la implicación y el compromiso laborales ejercen una total mediación múltiple en la relación entre job crafting y stisfacción. En el mismo sentido, la implicación laboral media parcialmente en la relación entre el job crafting y el compromiso laboral, lo mismo que se observó que el compromiso laboral mediaba parcialmente en la relación entre implicación laboral y la satisfacción.

    This study investigates the multiple mediating roles of work engagement and work commitment in the job crafting-job satisfaction relationship. The participants of the survey were 247 electrical/electronic technology education lecturers in Nigeria Universities. We applied bivariate correlation, regression and path analysis via 5000 re-samples bias corrected (BC) bootstrap method, and confirmatory factor analysis for data analyses. The findings showed that job crafting has positive significant prediction of work engagement, work commitment, and job satisfaction. We also found that work engagement and work commitment has positive significant prediction of job satisfaction. The path analytical results revealed that work engagement and work commitment has full multiple mediation on the job crafting-satisfaction relationship. In the same vein, work engagement partially mediated job crafting and work commitment relationship. Similarly, we found that work commitment partially mediated the relationship between work engagement and job satisfaction.
