Job crafting behaviors: mixed-methods study reveals motivational determinants and contextual antecedents of job crating

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Researchers from North America established a relationship between career outcome expectations and different forms of job crafting through survey data of 151 employees from different professions. A second study, based on interviews, confirmed that when employees experience unfulfilled career expectations, they try to realign their work situations. This may lead to job crafting behaviors.

Originality

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
