Employees and organizations are facing a very dynamic work environment today embedded with technological advancement and increasing competition demanding a proactive approach from both the side. The traditional work design methods where management used to frame the tasks and responsibilities of their employees are now a days replaced by modern approaches of job design where employees are actively participating in framing and altering their tasks in their jobs to fulfill their own as well as organizational goals. The proactive behavior of employees where they themselves take initiative to change the way they approach their job physically, socially or cognitively is called job crafting. The current study aimed at studying to what extend the job crafting behavior of employees relate with their engagement level at work and to what extend this relationship is moderated by selfefficacy.

Abstract


Employees and organizations are facing a very dynamic work environment today embedded with technological advancement and increasing competition demanding a proactive approach from both the side. The traditional work design methods where management used to frame the tasks and responsibilities of their employees are now a days replaced by modern approaches of job design where employees are actively participating in framing and altering their tasks in their jobs to fulfill their own as well as organizational goals. The proactive behavior of employees where they themselves take initiative to change the way they approach their job physically, socially or cognitively is called job crafting. The current study aimed at studying to what extend the job crafting behavior of employees relate with their engagement level at work and to what extend this relationship is moderated by selfefficacy.
