Our research findings thus again highlight the significance of SDT in investigating the key motivational factors, which vary in terms of internalization, that drive individuals' job crafting behaviors in diverse settings (Shin and Jung, 2021;Wu et al, 2023).

PurposeDespite its flourishing development since first proposed, job crafting literature has provided limited insights into why people craft their jobs. This study theoretically develops a two-dimensional integrative framework for the motives of job crafting, including orientation (self-oriented vs work-oriented vs other-oriented) and self-determination (autonomous vs introjected vs external) dimensions. We further investigate the specific motives of job crafting from actor and observer perspectives.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted two critical-incident recall surveys among 120 and 100 employees from varied sectors and organizations, who responded from the actor and observer perspective respectively. 395 and 299 valid open-ended responses were then collected and coded following the steps for content analysis.FindingsDrawing from the proposed two-dimensional theoretical framework, we identified 16 specific job crafting motives from actor and observer perspectives.Practical implicationsOur findings remind managers to pay attention to employees' motives of job crafting and take appropriate managerial actions according to their varied motives.Originality/valueBy incorporating job crafting from the motivation literature and identifying diversified motives that drive employees to engage in job crafting, this qualitative study contributes to both the job crafting literature and the broader application of self-determination theory in the field of organizational behavior.

Organizations must constantly reinvent and improve their competitiveness to remain viable in ever‐changing environments. In the domain of human resources development, this can be achieved through employee job crafting. Drawing on the self‐determination theory, we propose a novel framework for self‐determination processes by showing that high‐performance work systems (HPWSs), transformational leadership (TFL), and a proactive work climate can strengthen employees' sense of personal competence, autonomy, and relatedness, which, in turn, can promote employee job crafting. Specifically, we tested a moderated‐mediation model in which HPWSs function as organizational antecedents that drive employee job crafting through TFL in a proactive work climate. Using a sample of 45 supervisors and 240 employees from several industries in Taiwan, we found that HPWSs (the distal organizational predictor) and TFL (the proximal social predictor) drive employees to engage in job crafting behaviors. We also found that a proactive work climate not only served as a boundary condition shaping the nurturing effect of TFL on employee job crafting, but also enhanced the indirect effect of HPWSs on employee job crafting via TFL.

Crafting is the intentional and proactive behavioural or cognitive changes people make to satisfy their psychological needs. This can take place across life domains, including at work, at home, and in broader life goals, though little research exists comprehensively integrating the different crafting types. Psychological needs are one way that these various crafting types are related. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of the literature on crafting and the satisfaction of autonomy, competence, relatedness, and meaning in life to better understand how these psychological needs relate to or impact the crafting process. We systematically searched four databases and found 134 papers that met the inclusion criteria. We found that autonomy and meaning in life were two psychological needs that were frequently related to the process of crafting and that competence and relatedness were important but less researched. The satisfaction of psychological needs were often an outcome of crafting, though only job crafting consistently measured psychological needs as the antecedent to crafting. We conclude with recommendations for future research and questions to be addressed. This review may be useful for future basic and applied crafting research by better understanding how specific psychological needs relate to the process of crafting and how individuals may proactively shape their needs.
