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.

一本實用且及時的指南，向員工展示如何打造他們想要的工作，並向管理者展示如何塑造組織以促進這種工作塑造的方式。
「工作塑造」是對工作重新設計的現代方法，使員工能夠將他們現有的工作轉變為他們想要的工作。通過工作塑造的過程，員工主動改變他們的工作，強調與他們技能更相符的任務，或者提供學習新技能的機會，並得到願意將組織轉變為支持性工作環境的高層管理人員的幫助。提供以實證為基礎的實用指導，英國研究人員本傑明·雷克（Benjamin Laker）和合著者Lebene Soga、Yemisi Bolade-Ogunfodun和Adeyinka Adewale描述了企業和組織促進這種支持所需的步驟。
工作塑造者不僅僅被動地接受工作職稱和角色描述，他們通過三個主要途徑在工作中獲得意義：更多地控制任務、確定任務的感知方式，以及塑造社交環境。根據之前一項研究的數據，該研究對全球一千名商業領袖和兩千名員工進行了結構化訪談，作者提出了明確的四步框架，向管理者展示如何通過建立能夠使員工進行工作塑造的系統、結構和流程來最大程度地提高員工參與度和生產力。隨著新的管理原則（管家、真實性和授權）重新定義了舊的指揮和控制型領導方法，Y和Z世代在工作中尋求自主權和目標，工作塑造為許多勞動力問題提供了潛在的解決方案。《工作塑造》針對管理者、高層管理人員、學者和執行教育學生，為工作設計的討論注入新的活力，讓讀者獲得相關信息，並準備討論如何在各個行業中提高他們的表現和滿意度。
