Job Crafting

The aim of the present paper is to determine influence of job crafting on B2B salesperson performance through meaningful work in banking industry. This study applies role-resource avoidance approach theory to explain how job crafting affects Business to Business salesperson outcome and behavioral performance through mediating role of meaningful work. To achieve the research objectives, research data were collected from 175 B2B salesperson and their managers branches of four different Banks of Iran. Structural Equation Modeling was used by SmartPLS (2) software to analyze the impact of job crafting activities on salesperson performance through mediating role of meaningful work. Results of the present study indicated that three types of job crafting activities (i.e., role-approach crafting, resource-approach crafting and role-avoidance crafting) are positively related to salespersons’ selling and non-selling behavioral performance through meaningful work. The resource-avoidance activities are negatively related to salespersons’ selling behavioral performance through meaningful work, but they have not scientific influence on non-selling behavioral performance. Moreover, the salesperson’s both selling and non-selling behavioral performance is positively related to salesperson outcome performance. Prior quantitative studies of job crafting have focused on role orientation or resource orientation but in this study, we used role-resource avoidance approach perspective that suggested new and wide taxonomy for job crafting such work role expansion, work social expansion, work organization, adaptation, metacognition, work role reduction and withdrawal activities.

today the speed of changes in dispensation have involved all businesses. these changes include product/service, customer services, and consumer behavior. so the present research has examined the effects of job crafting with mediation health services on patient satisfaction. statistical population of the present research consists of two groups: the first group is the recipient of health services of Persian Gulf Martyrs Hospital and the second group of doctors, nurses, services staff, and employees of Persian Gulf Martyrs Hospital that provide medical and health services. to assess the variables of the study, a questionnaire was used. The statistical population of the second group passed 1000 people and 304 of them answered the questionnaire.the research method according to the nature of the research is descriptive-survey research. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire questions that evaluate were obtained 888/0 for the job crafting questionnaire and content validity was used to measure the validity of the research data collection tool. the Questionnaire was the tool for collecting data in this research and Smart PLS software was used to test hypotheses.results of structural equations showed that the job crafting variable has positive and significant effects on patient satisfaction and health quality, and the health quality variable has positive and significant on patient satisfaction. Health quality variable plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between job crafting and patient satisfaction.
