Sažetak
The research was conducted within the large international project Positive youth development in a crossnational perspective. One of the most frequently researched models of positive youth development is the model that defines positive youth development through five factors of positive development called 5Cs, namely: competence, confidence, character, connection and caring. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between the factors of positive youth development (perceived competence, self-confidence, strong character, caring and social connection), job crafting and educational achievement. Job crafting refers to: 1. initiating changes in the number and type of activities that a person performs at work or school, then 2. caution in choosing friends at work, school or college and finally, 3. changing the perspective a person has towards their job or education by trying to view them as more personal or significant. For this purpose, 727 participants (high school students and undergraduate students) aged 15 to 27 (M = 18.41, SD = 2.29) completed an abbreviated version of the Questionnaire of Positive Youth Development (Five Cs of PYD-SF, Geldhof et al., 2014) and the Job Crafting Questionnaire. (Job Crafting, Slemp and Vella- Brodrick, 2013). Information on educational achievement was obtained by asking students what grades they most often receive in school /college. Statistical analysis found that significant predictors of achievement are competence (β=.15, p˂.01) and job crafting (β=.16, p˂.01), and in addition, job crafting is a partial mediator in relation between competence and educational achievement (z= 4.13, p˂.01). This research seeks to emphasize the importance of supporting the competence and job crafting at the secondary and higher education levels.
