Summary
<p>This study examined the relationships between challenge and hindrance demands and work-related well-being indicators in employees' daily work experiences, and the mediating role of job crafting and moderating role of action orientation in these relationships. A total of 629 daily measurements were collected from 149 employees working in healthcare organizations in the Aegean Region over five working days. Data were analyzed using multilevel modeling. Results showed that hindrance demands increased psychological job withdrawal, while challenge demands enhanced psychological resilience. Approach-oriented cognitive job crafting played a significant mediating role in the relationships between challenge demands and both work engagement and resilience. The predicted relationships for avoidance-oriented cognitive job crafting and action orientation were not supported. The findings suggest that different types of job demands impact employee well-being through distinct mechanisms, underscoring the importance of approach-oriented cognitive strategies. The results contribute to extending the Job Demands-Resources Model and the Challenge-Hindrance Stressors Framework to the context of daily processes and provide practical recommendations for enhancing employee well-being.</p>
