“…Employees may maintain discretion over the extent to which their fun attitude may influence life satisfaction. In line with Bilginoğlu and Yozgat (2020), organizations do not need to introduce fun as a coercive or compulsive work practice but rather as a cultural norm that requires individual acceptance and voluntary participation.…”

“…When organizations introduce fun activities at work, they are likely to engage employees with the (a) task (work roles) and (b) overall organization (work team) (Plester & Hutchison, 2016). Workplace fun often serves as a reward for employees by creating a merrier workplace (Bilginoğlu & Yozgat, 2020).…”

“…Since fun is a subjective practice, its role in triggering engagement may vary from employee to employee depending on (a) how it is perceived by employees and (b) how it is delivered to employees (Bolton & Houlihan, 2009). When political meaning is attached to fun, employees perceive it as a superfluous activity and do not perceive it as important and appropriate (Bilginoğlu & Yozgat, 2020). In this study, we argue that workplace fun positively influences employee engagement when fun is perceived as a non-coercive practice.…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of workplace fun on life satisfaction through employee engagement in a gender interaction effect model. It was argued that workplace fun has a positive influence on life satisfaction through increased employee engagement. Moreover, gender effects were also tested in the relationships. This study was quantitative in nature. Under a cross-sectional study approach, data of 238 respondents collected from service sector employees were analyzed. Findings supported the argument that workplace fun leads to an improved sense of life satisfaction when individuals experience a positive state of mind and engagement at work. Moreover, fun leading to improved life satisfaction was higher among males than females. These findings implied that a fun attitude may have an indirect role in improving the life satisfaction of engaged employees suggesting that HR professionals need not seek workplace fun as a coercive practice. This study contributed to the literature on the use of workplace fun in improving life satisfaction. It also explained employee engagement as an underlying psychological mechanism that connects workplace fun with life satisfaction.

PurposeThis study aims towards developing a conceptual framework by systematically reviewing the available literature with reference to job crafting under the lens of an emerging economy from South Asia, i.e. India, which is the largest country and the largest economy in the South Asian region.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a hybrid methodology of a systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. Bibliometric analysis provides glimpses into the current state of knowledge like-trend of publication, influential authors, collaboration with foreign authors, the major themes and studied topics on job crafting in India etc. Further, a detailed SLR of the selected articles led to the development of the conceptual framework consisting of the enablers and outcomes of job crafting.FindingsIt discusses implications for academia, business and society at large, and also provides valuable insights to policymakers and practitioners paving the way for better adoption, customization and implementation of job crafting initiatives.Originality/valueOwing to its own unique social, cultural, and economic characteristics, the dynamics of job crafting in India may vary from other countries and regions which can also be reflective of how job crafting operates in South Asia in general. As job crafting was conceptualized and later evolved mostly in the western context, our study assumes greater significance as it is the first study which attempts to systematically review the job crafting literature to understand how job crafting manifests in the Indian context and presents a conceptual framework for the same.
