Additionally, it was discovered that job crafting had been an indicator of increased job involvement. Moreover, the study reveals that the connection between job crafting and talent retention is mediated by job involvement. Research limitations/implications: The study findings carry significant implications for organizations. To effectively enhance talent retention, hotels should promote job crafting practices while fostering a work culture that nurtures job involvement. By embracing such approaches, hotels can form an environment where talented staff sense motivated, involved, and committed, contributing to the hotels' long-term goals achievement and competitive advantage.
