“…Firstly, the results obtained reveal the inexistence of a direct relationship between either type of job crafting and job satisfaction. Villajos et al (2019) also found that not all dimensions of job crafting predicted job satisfaction. In the model studied the predictive power was weak, explaining only 27% of the variance observed in job satisfaction.…”

“…Other studies have linked the components of job crafting with engagement and satisfaction. Villajos, García-Ael, and Topa (2019) found that those dimensions linked to an increase in structural and social resources and challenging demands were associated with engagement. However, only increased structural and social resources were found to be related to job satisfaction.…”

Most theories of job crafting understand the term to refer to an individual activity, and only a few studies have focused on collaborative job crafting. The present study has two aims. First, to adapt and validate a Spanish version of the Individual and Collaborative Crafting Scale. Second, to test a simple mediation model of engagement on the relationship between individual and collaborative crafting and job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 301 people. The data were analyzed using the Smart PLS statistical program, version 3.2.6., using the partial least squares (PLS) path modeling method. The results reveal that the Spanish language version of the Individual and Collaborative Crafting Scale is both valid and reliable. Moreover, engagement was found to fully mediate the relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction, with the hypothesized model explaining 78.4% of the variance observed in job satisfaction. Job crafting y satisfacción laboral: el papel mediador del engagement R E S U M E N La mayor parte de las teorías de job crafting han estudiado el término como una actividad individual. Pocas investigaciones se han centrado en el crafting colaborativo. El presente estudio tiene dos objetivos. Se pretende adaptar y validar la versión española de la escala de crafting individual y colaborativo. Además, se pretende poner a prueba un modelo de mediación simple del engagement sobre la relación entre el crafting individual y colaborativo y la satisfacción laboral. La muestra está formada por 301 personas. El análisis de datos se llevó a cabo con el programa Smart PLS v. 3.2.6. usando mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS). Los resultados muestran que la escala de crafting individual y colaborativo en castellano es válida y fiable. Además, existe una mediación completa del engagement en la relación job crafting-satisfacción. El modelo hipotetizado explica un 78.4% de la varianza de la satisfacción laboral.

“…Job performance was measured by the 7-item In-Role Behavior Scale (IRB) developed by Williams and Anderson [42]. The original version in English has been already used in the Spanish language in a previous study [43]. A sample item is: “fulfills responsibilities specified in the job description”.…”

This time-lagged study, using the framework of the JD-R model, tested the mediating role of job crafting measuring: at T1, work engagement, workaholism and emotional exhaustion; at T2, job crafting; and, at T3, flourishing, job performance and job satisfaction. Respondents were 443 Spanish employees working in different companies. Results show that job crafting mediates the relationship between work engagement and some of its outcomes (job performance and flourishing). In particular, the job crafting component ‘increasing structural job resources’ mediates the positive effect of work engagement on flourishing and job performance, and the job crafting component ‘increasing challenging demands’ mediates the positive effect of work engagement on job performance. No job crafting mediation is found between work engagement and job satisfaction.

“…Work performance was assessed using 7 items from the In-Role Behavior scale (IRB) of Williams and Anderson [37]. The original English version, which had already been translated into Spanish in previous studies [38], was adapted to the teaching collective for the present study. Examples of the items are: "I adequately complete the tasks assigned to me in the educational center where I work", "I fulfill the specific responsibilities of my teaching work", or "I am involved in activities that are going to be taken directly into account in the evaluation of my job performance (such as participation in educational, innovation or lifelong learning projects)".…”

The Impact of Both Individual and Collaborative Job Crafting on Spanish Teachers’ Well-Being

Current changes in social structures and political-economic systems directly affect teachers’ job performance. Among others, these changes include changes in communication and information technologies, the scientific revolution, changes in the structure of populations, the revolution of social relations, economic and political transformations, and revolutions in labor relations and leisure time. These changes all seem to have promoted educational revolutions, which encourage the development of autonomous individuals who are capable of making critical judgments, ready to dialogue and cooperate in problem solving, and who seek alternatives aimed at building a better society. Thus, teachers suffer daily from the impact of continual changes that affect the way they do their work. According to the job-demands resources model, each job environment has its own characteristics that can be grouped into two dimensions: job demands and job resources. However, the relationship between job demands and resources has serious implications for individuals’ lives and psychological well-being. While work provides us with the means to survive, develop social relationships, and experience control over our lives, an excess of demands and a shortage of resources to cope with them would adversely affect personal well-being. Hence, individuals can perform behaviors through job crafting to balance this relationship between demands and resources at work. Job crafting is a proactive behavior of the worker who improves his own working conditions in order to achieve a more meaningful and satisfactory job. This phenomenon allows individuals to play a certain role by “creating” their own job, changing the conditions in which they perform their tasks. In this study, 146 teachers participated to investigate the relationships between both individual and collaborative job crafting behaviors, on the one hand, and job satisfaction, work engagement, and teaching performance, on the other.
