A state-of-the-art overview of job-crafting research: current trends and future research directions

What is it about?

Since job crafting was introduced twenty years ago, as a type of proactive work behavior that employees engage in to adjust their jobs to their needs, skills, and preferences, research has evolved tremendously. We uncovered a total of six trends in this field that show that job crafting research has moved to a more in-depth theory-testing approach; broadened its scope; examined team-level job crafting and social relationships; and focused on the impact of job crafting on others in the work environment and their evaluations and reactions to it.
