Abstract
This study outlines the construction, development, and initial testing of a theoretically-based measure of job crafting. The resulting measure reflects three dimensions of job crafting behaviors - task, relational, and cognitive crafting, as hypothesized by theory. Based on two samples of Subject Matter Experts and two developmental samples, the results found in this study establish initial content, internal structure, and construct validity evidence for the Measure of Job Crafting. The measure also demonstrated high reliability of scores across samples. This measure will be a useful tool in future research about job crafting, including whether crafting predicts meaningfulness in work.
