However, the psychological mechanisms through which self-efficacy is associated with job crafting in this population, and the boundary conditions under which contextual resources amplify or substitute for internal resources, remain underspecified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates how self-efficacy is associated with job crafting through parallel mediation by self-reflection and psychological resilience, and how perceived organizational support (POS) conditions these pathways. Survey data were collected from 576 female employees in Chinese tourism enterprises across four provinces. Analyses included confirmatory factor analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrap-based moderated mediation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Self-efficacy shows a significant positive association with job crafting (\u03b2 = 0.298,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001). Self-reflection and psychological resilience each partially mediate this association, with the psychological resilience pathway (\u03b2 = 0.354) approximately 2.5 times stronger than the self-reflection pathway (\u03b2 = 0.141). POS positively moderates the self-reflection\u2013job crafting association (\u03b2 = 0.077,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.021), but the corresponding moderated mediation is not statistically significant.
