Achieving Subjective Career Success Through Inclusive Leadership, Networking Behavior and Job Crafting

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of job crafting as the mediating variable between inclusive leadership and subjective career success, as well as between networking behavior and subjective career success. The study used structural equation modeling (SEM) methods to sample 133 managers from plantation companies. This study revealed that job crafting mediated the relationship between inclusive leadership and subjective career success, as well as the relationship between networking behavior and subjective career success, Meanwhile, inclusive leadership had a significant impact on job crafting, as did networking behavior, and job crafting had a significant impact on subjective career success; however, inclusive leadership had no significant impact on subjective career success, and networking behavior had no significant impact on subjective career success. The research provides valuable perspectives for managers and organizations regarding the importance of inclusive leadership, networking behavior, job crafting, and subjective career success. This study is original, as no previous research has investigated the mediating role of job crafting in the relationship between inclusive leadership to subjective career success and the relationship between networking behavior to subjective career success
