商品描述

A practical and timely guide that shows employees how to craft the jobs they want and managers how to shape their organizations in ways that are conducive to such job crafting.

Job Crafting is a rigorous, modern take on job redesign that empowers workers to transform the jobs they have into the ones they want. Through the process of job crafting, a worker proactively alters their job to emphasize tasks that better align with their skills or that allow opportunities to learn new skills, with the help of executives who are willing to transform their organizations into supportive work environments. Offering practical guidance grounded in empirical evidence, British researcher Benjamin Laker and coauthors Lebene Soga, Yemisi Bolade-Ogunfodun, and Adeyinka Adewale describe the steps necessary for businesses and organizations to facilitate that support.
Rather than passively receive job titles and role descriptions, job crafters harness meaning at work through three primary avenues:

  • exercising greater control over tasks,
  • determining the way tasks are perceived, and
  • shaping social context.
Based on data from a previous study in which structured interviews were conducted with one thousand business leaders and two thousand of their workers around the world, the authors' clear, four-step framework shows managers how to maximize staff engagement and productivity by building the systems, structures, and processes that empower workers to job craft. As new principles of stewardship, authenticity, and empowerment redefine the old command-and-control leadership approach, and generations Y and Z seek autonomy and purpose at work, job crafting offers a potential silver bullet to many workforce problems. Aimed at managers, executives, scholars, and executive education students, Job Crafting rejuvenates discussions of job design, leaving readers informed and ready to discuss how to improve their performance and satisfaction in all sectors.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一本實用且及時的指南,展示了員工如何塑造他們想要的工作,以及管理者如何以有利於這種工作塑造的方式來塑造他們的組織。

工作塑造 是對工作重新設計的一種嚴謹且現代的看法,賦予員工將他們擁有的工作轉變為他們想要的工作的能力。通過工作塑造的過程,員工主動改變他們的工作,以強調更符合他們技能的任務或提供學習新技能的機會,並得到願意將其組織轉變為支持性工作環境的高層主管的幫助。 英國研究者本傑明·萊克(Benjamin Laker)及其合著者勒貝內·索加(Lebene Soga)、耶米西·博拉德-奧根福敦(Yemisi Bolade-Ogunfodun)和阿德耶因卡·阿德瓦萊(Adeyinka Adewale)提供了基於實證證據的實用指導,描述了企業和組織促進這種支持所需的步驟。
工作塑造者不再被動接受職稱和角色描述,而是通過三個主要途徑在工作中獲取意義:

  • 對任務行使更大的控制,

  • 決定任務的感知方式,

  • 塑造社會環境。

根據一項先前研究的數據,該研究對全球一千名商業領袖及其兩千名員工進行了結構性訪談,作者清晰的四步框架展示了管理者如何通過建立賦予員工工作塑造能力的系統、結構和流程來最大化員工的參與度和生產力。隨著新的管理原則、真實性和賦權重新定義了舊有的命令與控制領導方式,而Y世代和Z世代則尋求工作中的自主性和目的,工作塑造為許多勞動力問題提供了一個潛在的解決方案。工作塑造 旨在針對管理者、高層主管、學者和高管教育學生,重新激活了對工作設計的討論,使讀者了解並準備討論如何改善他們在各個領域的表現和滿意度。
