Job Crafting as a Determinant of Employees' Job Satisfaction, Work-Related Flow and Well-Being

Abstract

The research aimed to examine the role of job crafting in job satisfaction, work-related flow, life satisfaction and flourishing. A total of 275 employees (of whom 64.4% were women), aged 20 to 53 (Mage = 32.13 (7.21)), participated in the research. The results showed a determination of absorption, work enjoyment, intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction with certain job crafting dimensions, while some dimensions of job crafting also predicted flourishing and life satisfaction of employees. The increase in structural job resources proved to be a positive determinant of all observed indicators of job and general well-being. Also, an increase in challenging job demands positively predicted all three dimensions of work-related flow. A decrease in hindering job demands negatively predicted, while an increase in social job resources positively predicted job satisfaction and work enjoyment and intrinsic motivation.
