In particular, the impact of abusive supervision on silence becomes more salient when white-collar employees endorse higher system justification motives. However, in the blue-collar sample, the absence of a moderating effect could be attributed to the strong main effect of system justification motives. The current study adds to the extant literature by applying a system justification perspective to voice and silence behavior by collar differences at work.

Two samples of data were collected, before and during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (2019: <em>n</em> = 525; 2020: <em>n</em> = 644). The variable-oriented analyses revealed that in both samples, the approach to job crafting strategies (increasing job resources and challenging job demands) were associated with positive outcomes (higher work-related well-being and personal resources), whereas avoidance job crafting strategies (decreasing hindrance job demands) were associated with relatively negative outcomes. Particularly, during the pandemic, the benefit of increasing structural job resources and challenging job demands was more evident than that of increasing social job resources. Furthermore, subsequent person-oriented analyses identified three typical patterns of job crafting in both samples: moderate job crafters (an average level use of all strategies), approach-focused job crafters (an above-average level use of approach strategies coupled with an average level use of avoidance strategies), and avoidance-focused job crafters (a predominant use of avoidance strategies). Among these, approach-focused and moderate job crafters showed more desirable outcomes than avoidance-focused job crafters. The present findings suggest that by implementing job crafting, school principals may be able to cope better with the various professional challenges and adversities associated with the pandemic. In turn, this may improve their work-related well-being, self-efficacy, and resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"42 6","pages":"Pages 933-943"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41420067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we discuss the contribution of projects to grand challenges and ask what type of project management they demand, particularly in Europe.

We hypothesize that organizational constraints decrease organizational commitment, resulting in employees being less willing to be proactive (job crafting), which in turn leads to lower job performance. However, we further hypothesize that the amount of crafting in the face of organizational constraints depends on commitment, with more committed employees (despite constraints due to counterbalancing factors) engaging in more job crafting than those with low commitment. As a result of high commitment and job crafting, employee performance can actually be higher.
