Job crafting holds many benefits for the individual and their organization. Whether we realize it or not, we are job crafting all the time. Job crafting can be done deliberately or subconsciously. Unfortunately, it is generally not done well in organizations to reap the many benefits. Job crafting is basically shaping a job to better suit the jobholder's strengths and preferences. This presentation introduces you to deliberate job crafting, the ways it can be done, and the benefits for the jobholder, their manager, and the organization.

Proactive Paradox Process

8. Example
Paul works in IT in customer support. He
spends most of his time on a help line but had
a passion for testing and improving new
software. Through discussions with his
manager, Paul joined a group that tested new
applications before they were launched in the
company. This took up about three hours every
month.
Whilst Paul’s role didn’t substantially change
through job crafting, he was delighted that his
skill and passion for analysis of new
applications was being recognized.

10. Example
Harry, a bus driver, decides to give
helpful sightseeing advice while
travelling his regular route from the
airport to the city. He’s mindful that
many of his passengers are from out of
town. Harry perceives his job as more
than driving a bus (cognitive crafting).
By using his extensive local knowledge,
Harry decides to use his extroverted
personality to good effect. He decides to
add sightseeing to his primary task of
driving a bus.

12. Example
Marilyn is an architect who specializes in
designing offices for large companies.
She goes out of her way to organize
several informal meetings with her
clients on a new office design project.
During these meetings, Marilyn—instead
of looking at the current office layout—
observes the way people are working
and how they interact with one another.
After several visits, Marilyn changes the
office designs based on her observations
and interactions with the customer.
