Abstract :Ensuring the compliance of the employees with their jobs has recently become one of the most significant issues in organizational research. The selection of suitable personnel for the characteristics of the job and the organization has taken considerable attention and yet it is still unlikely for most of the employees to be placed in the right job which properly suits their personal goals, skills, and values. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between psychological capital (PysCap) and job crafting, which promotes loyalty, satisfaction and performance. Grounded on broaden and build theory, the moderation role of perceived overqualification (POQ) in this relationship is also tested in this study. Data were obtained from 315 flight attendants from three different airline companies and analyzed by using hierarchical regression. The results assert that POQ moderates the relationship between job crafting and PsyCap. In the context of all findings, all hypotheses were supported.
