Job Crafting: A Challenge to Promote Decent Work for Vulnerable Workers

“…Over the last few years, job crafting research has provided findings on vulnerable workers, particularly older workers ( Nagy et al, 2019 ; Zacher and Rudolph, 2019 ; Kooij et al, 2020 ), the unemployed ( Hulshof et al, 2020a , b ), workers with disabilities ( Brucker and Sundar, 2020 ), and migrant workers ( Arasli et al, 2019 ).…”

“… Hulshof et al (2020a , b) provided new insights into the role of job crafting in the unemployed. First, they introduced the new construct of reemployment crafting, adapting the conceptualization of Petrou et al (2012) to the unemployed by adding seeking resources, seeking challenges, and reducing demands ( Hulshof et al, 2020a ).…”

“…In that study, reemployment crafting was positively related to job search performance, whereas only challenge seeking was positively related to networking quality over time through a mediational effect by career exploration ( Hulshof et al, 2020a ). Lastly, a further study tested the efficacy of a job search demands–resources (JSD-R) intervention (i.e., reemployment crafting plus psychological capital interventions) in the unemployed ( Hulshof et al, 2020b ). Compared to the control group, unemployed people who received the JSD-R intervention showed higher levels of wellbeing, job search behaviors, motivation to undertake activities, subjective goal attainment, career exploration, and networking behaviors ( Hulshof et al, 2020b ).…”

<p>Connecting Emotion Regulation to Career Outcomes: Do Proactivity and Job Search Self-Efficacy Mediate This Link?</p>

“…Another explanation might be related to the existing closeness between professional proactivity and calling. Somehow, people that showed a strong proactivity during job search process could present career inflexibility and limit their employability options 107. Accordingly, further research should include other underlying abilities involved in the job search process to examine a more integrative model of career outcomes.…”

Can job seekers achieve more through networking? The role of networking intensity, self‐efficacy, and proximal benefits

“…A possible explanation for the lack of uniform findings regarding individual networking effort and outcomes may be varying networking quality. Recent work has highlighted the importance of the quality of job search activities, in addition to time spent in such activities (Hulshof, Demerouti, & Le Blanc, 2019;van Hooft et al, 2013van Hooft et al, , 2015. Highlighted as important but understudied in the job search context are two particular aspects of networking quality: networking self-efficacy (de Janasz & Forret, 2008;Kuwabara, Hildebrand, & Zou, 2018) and proximal networking benefits (Cross & Sproull, 2004;Wolff, Moser, & Grau, 2008).…”
