Abstract
In recent years, employee job crafting behavior has become a hot topic in academic circles. A large number of studies have shown that job crafting can promote the improvement of organizational performance, but job crafting is not a “panacea” and can only be transformed into organizational performance in a certain context. Based on contingency perspective, this study uses the individual-environment matching model to study the situation in which employee's job remolding is successfully transformed into organizational performance in three aspects of employee's personal situation, group situation and organizational situation, and extracts three key situational factors of promo- ting focus, paradoxical leadership and job autonomy from three aspects. The results show that the promotion of focus, paradoxical leadership and job autonomy are conducive to transforming work remodeling into organizational performance. In addition, the combination of the individual's internal and external situations, that is, the combination of promoting focus and paradoxical leadership, and the combination of promoting focus and work autonomy play a positive interaction role in the transformation process. The research results reveal the situational mechanism of successful transformation from job crafting to organizational performance and provide practical guidance for managers to effectively manage and utilize employee job crafting to improve organizational performance.
