Abstract

This study divided job crafting into promotion and prevention focused job crafting based on the regulatory focus theory. The purpose of this study was to explore the situational and personal motivational antecedents of promotion-prevention focused job crafting and to uncover their differential effects. Specifically, we examined the relationship of social support, work overload and achievement goal orientation with promotion-prevention focused job crafting. Analyzed the differential effects of promotion-prevention focused job crafting on individual job performance. Finally, the mediating role of promotion-prevention focused job crafting was tested. The data for this study come from 316 employees working at various companies in China, and 271 responses were included for the final analysis. The results showed that social support and learning goal orientation increased promotion focused job crafting, while work overload and performance goal orientation increased prevention focused job crafting. Promotion focused job crafting was positively, while prevention focused job crafting was negatively related to job performance. Results of mediation models showed that promotion focused job crafting mediated the relationship between social support/learning goal orientation, and performance. Work overload/performance goal orientation was negatively related with performance through prevention focused job crafting. The theoretical and applied implications of the results are discussed.
