Abstract

This article extends the discussion of the predictors of job crafting to include small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working in an information and communication technologies (ICT)-based mobile and multilocational manner. Based on a survey ( N = 412) conducted in 43 Finnish SMEs, the job and personal resources-related predictors of approach and avoidance types of job crafting were analysed. From job resources, co-working, multilocality, the resources in the physical work environment, useful ICT and social support predicted the approach types of job crafting. Intrinsic motivation, relatedness and feeling competent as personal resources activated the approach types of job crafting. Drawing on background variables, being a younger firm activated job crafting. Avoidance type of job crafting was predicted positively by the resources in the physical work environment. This article suggests that knowledge about the predictors of job crafting encourages SMEs to activate this practice among its personnel.

以信息通信技术为基础的移动和多地点方式工作的中小企业工作制作的预测因素

本文扩展了对工作制作预测因素的讨论，以包括以基于信息和通信技术(ICT)的移动和多地点方式工作的中小型企业(sme)。基于对43家芬兰中小企业进行的一项调查(N = 412)，分析了工作和个人资源相关的方法和回避类型的预测因素。从工作资源、联合工作、多地点、物理工作环境中的资源、有用的信息通信技术和社会支持预测了工作制作的方法类型。作为个人资源的内在动机、相关性和感觉能力激活了工作制作的方法类型。利用背景变量，作为一家较年轻的公司激活了工作制作。回避型工作制作与物理工作环境中的资源有正向预测关系。本文建议，关于工作塑造的预测因素的知识鼓励中小企业在其员工中激活这种做法。
