Do job crafting opportunities help to win talent? Disentangling and contextualizing the effects of job crafting opportunities on applicant attraction
通过两项实证研究(联合实验和情境实验),发现工作重塑机会能吸引求职者,但会引发对工作要求和资源的正负预期,且主动型人格会强化正面预期、缓冲负面效应。
Summary We argue that job crafting opportunities are not only helpful to motivate and enable the existing workforce but that they can also function as a signal to attract talent. With the help of two empirical studies (Study 1 – a conjoint experiment and Study 2 – a vignette study), we show that (a) a signaled opportunity for job crafting helps to attract job seekers; (b) job crafting signals can trigger positive as well as negative expectations of central job demands and resources that inform job acceptance intentions, and; (c) a proactive personality strengthens most of the positive expectations of job crafting signals while buffering adverse effects.
