International audience. This study examined within-person and within-sample stability of need satisfaction profiles over a three-month period among a sample of 1319 nurses. This study also considered the implications of these profiles for employee functioning (vigor, need for recovery, and job satisfaction), as well as the role of perfectionism and job crafting in predicting profile membership. Results revealed four distinct need satisfaction profiles, which proved to have the same structure, and size, across measurement points. The dimensions of perfectionism and those of job crafting showed well-differentiated patterns of association with the profiles. Results also revealed that the key driver of the most adaptive functioning was the presence of balanced levels of global and specific need satisfaction of at least a moderate magnitude.
