Gender, Job Crafting and Work Place Well-Being: A Correlational Study

Abstract

In this research endeavor, the primary objective was to investigate the interplay between Job Crafting, encompassing both its various types and forms, and Workplace Wellbeing. Additionally, it was posited that there might exist gender differences in the utilization of distinct types and forms of job crafting. The study sample comprised 377 employees employed across diverse educational institutions in Peshawar, spanning both the private and public sectors. Data collection relied on the administration of two self-report measures: the PERMA-Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016) and the Job Crafting Questionnaire (Bindl et al., 2019).An examination of gender distinctions via an independent sample t-test revealed that there were no discernible differences between males and females concerning the utilization of various types and forms of job crafting. Furthermore, correlation analysis disclosed a significant and positive association between job crafting total scores and workplace wellbeing total scores. This observation extended to the various facets of job crafting, demonstrating positive correlations with distinct dimensions of wellbeing. In summation, this study contributes substantially to the extant body of knowledge on job crafting, particularly by exploring its intricate connection with workplace wellbeing. These insights hold the potential to assist organizations in the formulation of effective strategies and interventions aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of both their employees and the organization as a whole
