There is highly statistically significant relation between nurses' job crafting and their levels of work engagement where P= (0.000), Conclusions: There was intermediate positive highly statistically significant relationship between total study subjects' perceptions of job crafting and total work engagement, where (r= 0.449, P= 0.000).
