Abstract

The article examines the relationship between proactive job crafting and workplace happiness in the context of millennials associated with the Indian service sector. This study was conducted with 310 millennial employees associated with IT and ITES, telecom, and banking services. The study used self-reporting questionnaires, and the hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. The study highlights the nature of job crafting in a hitherto under-researched sector of the Indian economy. The findings suggest that job crafting has a positive influence on driving employee happiness. Crafting structural job resources predicted millennials’ job satisfaction and work engagement. Crafting by seeking social resources and challenging demands was positively associated with commitment and engagement. The study is relevant in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic when organizations are keen to address employee happiness at work. It provides evidence from the Indian service organizations for the implications of adopting job crafting behavior at work to test the adoption of theories developed in the Anglo-Saxon cultures.

创造工作场所幸福感的工作技巧：对印度服务业千禧一代的研究

这篇文章探讨了在与印度服务业相关的千禧一代的背景下，积极主动的工作塑造与工作幸福感之间的关系。这项研究是对310名与IT和ITES、电信和银行服务相关的千禧一代员工进行的。该研究使用了自我报告问卷，并使用结构方程模型对假设进行了检验。这项研究强调了印度经济中一个迄今为止研究不足的部门的就业创造性质。研究结果表明，工作塑造对推动员工幸福感有积极影响。精心设计的结构性工作资源预测了千禧一代的工作满意度和工作参与度。通过寻求社会资源和具有挑战性的需求进行手工制作与承诺和参与呈正相关。这项研究与新冠肺炎疫情有关，当时各组织都热衷于解决员工在工作中的幸福感问题。它提供了来自印度服务组织的证据，证明在工作中采用工作塑造行为的含义，以测试盎格鲁撒克逊文化中发展的理论的采用情况。
