Research Model.
Note. Part 1 of this study focuses on job and off-job crafting profiles. Part 2 focuses on the role of the crafting profiles for the long-term relationship between workload and recovery experiences while accounting for the stability of these constructs. The bold line between workload at Wave 1 and recovery experiences at Wave 2 is of particular interest. Additionally, the broken line between crafting profiles and recovery experiences indicates that mean differences in recovery experiences between the crafting profiles will be assessed with auxiliary analyses.
