Effect of Job Crafting on Faculty’s Job Satisfaction and Performance; The Moderating Role of Perceived Organizational Support.

Abstract

Job crafting is a strategy in human resource management that aims to improve employee productivity and job performance. It focuses on the relationship between employees' perceptions of their workplace and their satisfaction with their job. The JD-R theory, which states that employees perform better when they have access to necessary job resources and demands, was used to conduct a study using a cross-sectional research design. A survey was distributed to university faculty using online methods, and the results showed a positive relationship between job crafting and employee performance and job satisfaction. Additionally, the study found that Perceived Organizational Support plays an important role in the relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction. These findings suggest that human resource managers can use job crafting as a tool to improve employee outcomes and understand their needs.
