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

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.
