Project Description
This study focused on job crafting among faculty in Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to promote lifelong learning, high research standards, and innovative thinking. Job crafting involves task, cognitive, and relational modifications to enhance job significance and satisfaction. The research was conducted in two parts using a mixed-methods approach:
Study I (Qualitative): Aimed to develop an indigenous job crafting intervention for HEI faculty. A focus group of 7 participants from the University of Management and Technology, Lahore, was conducted using purposive sampling. Thematic analysis of responses revealed themes such as personal growth, job satisfaction, infrastructure deficiencies, relationship building, and cognitive restructuring, aligning with the Job-Demand Resource (JDR) theory.
Study II (Quantitative): Utilized a quasi-experimental design with 70 faculty members from HEIs, selected from the University of Management and Technology, Lahore, and Bahria University, Islamabad. Participants completed the Job Crafting Scale (Tims, 2012) and Workplace Stress Scale (Marlin Company, 2001) before and after a two-week interval. The intervention demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing workplace stress.
The findings highlighted the importance of job crafting for improving employee performance and mental health, suggesting it as a potential strategy to enhance job satisfaction and well-being.
