«Job crafting and well-being at work: an exploratory analysis during health emergency period».
During the health emergency in 2020, in order not to interrupt production processes and at the same time to protect the health of citizens and workers, alternative working methods were adopted different from the traditional ones, to which workers were directed without any previous notice or specific training.
The purpose of the research is to explore the relationships between meaning of work, job crafting and emotional exhaustion during the first month of lockdown in the Italian territory. The study therefore aims to identify possible strengthening factors related to working well-being.
The different constructs were detected through an online questionnaire from 11 March to 2 April 2020, involving 405 subjects. After verifying the reliability of the constructs, a mediation model was performed using nonparametric structural equations (PLS-SEM).
Model’s constructs show adequate reliabilities. The study highlights the total mediation of job crafting in the relationship between the meaning of work and emotional exhaustion. In particular, the regression relationship between meaning of work and emotional exhaustion is equal to c’=-0.04, p=0.480. On the contrary, the relationship between the meaning of work and job crafting is a=0.44 (p<0.001), and the one between job crafting and emotional exhaustion is b=-0.14, p=0.014.
Nel corso dell’emergenza sanitaria del 2020, per non interrompere i processi produttivi e al contempo tutelare la salute dei cittadini e dei lavoratori, sono state adottate modalità di lavoro alternative a quella tradizionale, verso cui i lavoratori sono stati indirizzati senza alcun preavviso o formazione specifica.
La ricerca si propone di esplorare le relazioni tra significato del lavoro, job crafting ed esaurimento emotivo intercorse nel primo mese di lockdown sul territorio italiano. Lo studio intende quindi individuare eventuali fattori di potenziamento del benessere lavorativo.
La raccolta dati è avvenuta tramite un questionario online dall ’ 11 Marzo al 2 Aprile 2020, coinvolgendo 405 soggetti. Dopo la verifica dell’attendibilità dei costrutti, è stato calcolato un modello di mediazione tramite Equazioni Strutturali non parametriche (PLS-SEM).
I costrutti del modello ipotizzato presentano un’adeguata attendibilità. Lo studio evidenzia la mediazione totale del job crafting nella relazione tra significato del lavoro ed esaurimento emotivo. La relazione di regressione tra significato del lavoro ed esaurimento emotivo è pari a c’=-0.04, p=0.480. Al contrario, la relazione tra significato del lavoro e job crafting risulta a=0.44 (p=0.000), così come quella tra job crafting ed esaurimento emotivo, pari a b=-0.14, p.value=0.014.
