What is job crafting? Review of theoretical models of job crafting

Abstract

W ostatnich latach w psychologii pracy można zaobserwować wyraźny wzrost zainteresowania zjawiskami pozytywnymi. Jednym z nich są zachowania inicjowane przez pracowników, zmierzające do przekształcania warunków pracy w celu zwiększenia satysfakcji z pracy oraz jej dopasowania do potrzeb i zdolności. Zachowania te są nazywane kształtowaniem pracy (job crafting). Wraz rozwojem badań nad tym zagadnieniem powstawały, a następnie ewoluowały, jego odmienne koncepcje teoretyczne i definicje. Celem niniejszej pracy było ich usystematyzowanie i przeprowadzenie krytycznej analizy. Poddano analizie 5 różnych modeli teoretycznych kształtowania pracy: Wrzesniewski i Dutton, Tims i Bakkera, Zhang i Parker, Bindl i wsp. oraz Kooij i wsp. W publikacji przedstawiono różnice pomiędzy tymi podejściami oraz mocne strony i punkty krytyczne każdego z nich. Med.
