Abstract

SummaryDrawing on enrichment theory and the identity‐based integrative crafting model, the present paper explores the impact of leisure crafting on creativity and meaning at work using both the compensation and the spillover perspectives. We hypothesized that leisure crafting relates to employee creativity, particularly when employees experience low work engagement; and that leisure crafting predicts meaning at work via employee creativity, particularly for employees with low work engagement. We also expected that cognitive developmental and affective leisure‐to‐work enrichment acts as the mediator in the link between leisure crafting and creativity. Study 1, a three‐wave survey study with 1‐week time intervals among 191 employees confirmed that the indirect effect of leisure crafting on meaning at work via creativity is stronger among employees reporting low work engagement. Study 2, a follow‐up study of a similar design among 421 employees revealed that leisure crafting leads to creativity via cognitive developmental resources and that leisure crafting leads to creativity via affective resources for employees who report low levels of work engagement. Our findings highlight that leisure crafting possesses the inherent capacity to enhance meaning at work through employee creativity (spillover), especially for those employees who experience a lack of fulfillment at work (compensation). We also refine work‐life enrichment theories by uncovering that leisure crafting may enrich work via different pathways for different employees.

揭开休闲工艺品对缺乏工作热情的员工的影响：对工作创造力和意义的影响

摘要本文以丰富理论和基于身份的综合手工制作模型为基础，从补偿和溢出两个角度探讨了休闲手工制作对创造力和工作意义的影响。我们假设休闲工艺与员工的创造力有关，尤其是当员工的工作投入度较低时；休闲工艺通过员工的创造力预测工作意义，尤其是对工作投入度较低的员工而言。我们还预计，在休闲制作与创造力之间的联系中，认知发展和情感上的休闲工作丰富性起着中介作用。研究 1 是一项对 191 名员工进行的时间间隔为一周的三波调查研究，结果证实，休闲手工制作通过创造力对工作意义的间接影响在工作投入度较低的员工中更为明显。研究 2 是一项对 421 名员工进行的类似设计的后续研究，结果表明，对于工作投入度较低的员工而言，休闲手工制作通过认知发展资源提高创造力，而休闲手工制作通过情感资源提高创造力。我们的研究结果突出表明，休闲工艺具有通过员工创造力（溢出效应）提升工作意义的内在能力，尤其是对于那些在工作中缺乏成就感（补偿）的员工而言。我们还发现，休闲工艺可能会通过不同的途径丰富不同员工的工作，从而完善了丰富工作与生活的理论。
