Abstract

Job crafting refers to self-initiated changes that individuals make in their work to improve person-job fit. We hypothesized that a job crafting workshop, stimulating participants to craft their job to improve its fit with their interests and strengths, will result in increased person-job fit. Moreover, since aging workers experience changes in their interests and abilities, we hypothesized that aging workers will benefit more from this workshop compared to their younger co-workers. To test our hypotheses, we conducted an intervention study among ( N =86) employees of a Dutch health insurance organization. The experimental group participated in the workshop and both the experimental and a waitlist-control group filled out a survey prior to and after the intervention. Multiple regression and moderation analyses demonstrated that the workshop had a positive effect on the needs-supplies fit of aging workers while the effect for the younger workers and the effect on demands-abilities fit were non-significant
