Abstract
Introduction
Prior research has focused on management-centric view of HR practices and emphasized employees as passive recipients of such practices. Nevertheless, contemporary research advocates a different perspective by emphasizing that employees can also take self-initiative and proactively engage by redesigning their job contents in order to better translate the impact of HR practices into innovative work behavior (IWB).
Objective
Drawing upon the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study aims to examine how job crafting contributes to individuals’ bottom-up proactive responses to HR practices that encourage innovative behaviors at work. To make the results more substantive, the moderating role of creative self-efficacy has also been investigated.
Method
The data were collected from academic staff and their respective department heads representing four universities located in Pakistan.
Results
The results revealed that job crafting provides an intervening mechanism in the relationship between ability-motivation-opportunity-enhancement human resources practices (AMO-HRMPs), and creative self-efficacy moderates this relationship.
Conclusion
These findings have implications for department heads who are interested in creating an environment that encourages innovation through job crafting.
