Work Process and Quality of Care in Early Childhood Education: The Role of Job Crafting
研究在62家托幼机构中调查232名教师和助教，发现个人与协作工作重塑是不同概念，协作重塑与课堂质量正相关，尤其对经验较少的教师效果更明显。
In this study we conducted performance assessments in 62 childcare centers and surveyed 232 teachers and aides, to examine the extent to which workers crafted their jobs and how such crafting affected classroom quality. Results show that individual and collaborative job crafting are distinct constructs; work discretion is related to both; and collaborative crafting is positively related to performance, particularly for less experienced teachers. Further, collaborative crafting is associated with stronger satisfaction and commitment and, for better teachers, stronger job attachment. We demonstrate that organizational research can contribute to the public interest via policy designs for high-quality early education.
