... addition, some studies further reduced the proactive personality scale to 6 items (Parker, 1998), 5 items ( Kickul and Gundry, 2002), and 4 items (Parker and Sprigg, 1999). Table 1 summarizes the core information for proactive personality. To demonstrate the cross-cultural universality of the proactive personality scale, Claes et al. (2005) used samples from Belgium, Finland, and Spain. ...Context 2

... Individuals using their proactive trait as a resource to confront demanding situations were shown to mitigate the negative effects of ICT-enabled technostress like communication overload (Sumiyana & Sriwidharmanely, 2020). Although the application of fsQCA in micro-focused proactive personality literature is limited, studies have found that configurations containing the presence of this trait in CEO's and entrepreneurs influence strategic outcomes (e.g., Denoo & Soh, 2018;Yang, Bai, & Yang, 2021). ...
The purpose of this research is to examine configurations of proactive personality and ICT-enabled technostress creators as drivers of job crafting for Gen Z, Gen Y, and Gen X+ workers. Adhering to configurational theorizing, the study was conducted using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Survey responses collected from 335 full-time workers revealed that the presence of a proactive personality was a necessary condition for job crafting to occur within the context of ICT demands for these generations. Four configurations for Gen Z, five configurations for Gen Y, and four configurations for Gen X+ workers revealed sufficient conditions for job crafting. The present research contemporizes Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory by incorporating ICT as a modern-day job demand. In using fsQCA as a novel qualitative methodological tool, this research offers new meaning to the prior regression-based findings regarding proactive personality trait's relationship with job crafting.
