Work Engagement and Job Crafting

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in science and technology have brought dramatic changes in the nature of today’s jobs. As employees’ job security is threatened by automation, robots, and artificial intelligence, motivating employees to remain engaged in their jobs has become a challenging but critical issue for many organizations. In line with this trend, scholars highlight the role of employee-initiated work interventions (e.g., job crafting) as a crucial means to create and maintain an engaged workforce in a fast-changing environment. The Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, “Work Engagement and Job Crafting”, offers an opportunity to publish empirical research on work engagement and job crafting. We welcome high-quality research related to work engagement and job crafting. Examples of topics suitable for this Special Issue are performance, relational, and health-related outcomes of work engagement and job crafting; organizational and job characteristics fostering or hindering work engagement and job crafting; and multilevel processes involving work engagement and job crafting. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field, and would be due in March 2020. The guest editors of this Special Issue are Won-Moo Hur and Yuhyung Shin.
