Abstract

Job crafting is an employee's activity focused on improving one's own job designs to find meaning in work, which is associated with organizational commitment – an attitude desired by the organizations. The aim of the article is to determine whether individual (age, organizational tenure) and organizational factors of the work context (company type: public vs. private) and job crafting provide organizational commitment. The study used the Job Crafting
Questionnaire and the Organizational Commitment Scale, which were surveyed on by 201 employees. A hierarchical analysis of regression showed that job crafting, age and company type are important for organizational commitment. Finally, on the base of the obtained results, it turned out that job crafting provides organizational commitment.
Key words: job crafting, organizational commitment, work and organizational psychology
