“…For organizations to survive in the current rapidly changing business environment, employee's must proactively alter their work content and job responsibilities (Rudolph et al, 2017). However, it is inevitable that employees undertake plenty of tasks in a highly complex overload on job crafting market environment (American Psychological Association, 2018; Wang et al, 2019). Our findings have practical implications for human resources manager's efforts to promote employee's job crafting in the context of role overload.…”

“…Among many antecedent variables of job crafting, role overload, which describes a situation in which an employee is expected to fulfill too many responsibilities or activities (Peterson et al, 1995), has received widespread attention (Rudolph et al, 2017;Solberg and Wong, 2016;Tims and Bakker, 2010). Meanwhile, employees inevitably undertake large amounts of work and experience time pressure because of the increasing job demands in modern organizations (American Psychological Association, 2018; Wang et al, 2019). Therefore, we believe that investigating why and when employees engage in job crafting in the context of role overload should be particularly meaningful.…”

PurposePrevious studies have vague views about whether employees who are required to complete large amounts of work (i.e. role overload) would proactively create a change in their job characteristics (i.e. job crafting), because the cognitive mechanism underlying the nexus between role overload and job crafting is unclear. The aim of this study is to identify why and when role overload has an impact on job crafting.Design/methodology/approachThis study builds a second-stage moderated mediation model. Using a two-wave panel field study of 213 employee–supervisor matched data, this study examines the proposed hypotheses.FindingsResults show that role overload decreases construal level, which can determine the tendency of employees to focus on the feasibility (low level of construal) or desirability (high level of construal) of behaviors. Goal self-concordance is the degree to which employees pursue their personal goals based on feelings of personal interests and values. The authors find that goal self-concordance guides employees who have higher levels of construal to exert more effort in job crafting. The authors further find that goal self-concordance moderates the mediating role of construal level. Specifically, for employees in pursuit of self-concordant goals, role overload reduces their construal level, resulting in less effort in job crafting. For employees who do not pursue self-concordant goals, role overload decreases their construal level, thereby improving job crafting.Originality/valueThe findings of this study enrich the literature on role overload and job crafting by revealing the mechanism and boundary conditions of the relationship between role overload and job crafting.
