Abstract

Purpose

Coworking spaces represent a new, rapidly emerging phenomenon. Available empirical literature is sparse and mostly focused on structural elements, whereas the organizational and behavioral dynamics are still largely understudied. This study aims to explore the idea that coworking users’ proactivity (more specifically, job crafting behaviors) plays a key role in positively influencing creative performance, and that such a relationship is better understood by examining both the mediating role of work meaningfulness and the moderating role of knowledge sharing.

Design/methodology/approach

This study is based on survey data from a relevant sample of users in Italian coworking spaces. A mediated-moderated analysis is used.

Findings

The “approach” job crafting behaviors have a significant influence on creative performance, via work meaningfulness, whereas this is not true for “avoidance” job crafting behaviors. Knowledge sharing plays a significant moderating role in the former relationship.

Research limitations/implications

The theoretical, practical and social implications discussed help to further the discourse surrounding the relationships between job crafting, creative performance and coworking spaces. This unique work setting enables a variety of value appropriation pathways to be promoted and supported. As such, coworking spaces are also “laboratories” where the future of work organization can be better understood.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the existing coworking spaces literature as it is one of the very few that sheds light on users’ behaviors, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first one to consider job crafting as a relevant variable. It also contributes to the current job crafting literature by helping to clarify why available studies have yielded mixed results in examining the relationship between job crafting and creative performance.

工作精心制作是提高协同工作空间创造性绩效的关键因素
目的 协同工作空间是一种迅速兴起的新现象。现有的实证文献很少,而且大多集中在结构要素方面,而对组织和行为动态方面的研究还很少。本研究旨在探讨这样一种观点,即协同工作空间用户的主动性(更具体地说,工作制作行为)在积极影响创造性绩效方面发挥着关键作用,而通过研究工作意义的中介作用和知识共享的调节作用,可以更好地理解这种关系。研究结果 "接近型 "工作制作行为通过工作意义对创造性绩效有显著影响,而 "回避型 "工作制作行为则不然。所讨论的理论、实践和社会意义有助于进一步探讨工作制作、创造性绩效和协同工作空间之间的关系。这种独特的工作环境能够促进和支持各种价值占有途径。因此,协同工作空间也是一个 "实验室",在这里可以更好地了解工作组织的未来。原创性/价值本研究对现有的协同工作空间文献有所贡献,因为它是为数不多的揭示用户行为的文献之一,而且据作者所知,它是第一份将工作制作作为相关变量的文献。此外,本研究还有助于澄清为什么现有研究在探讨工作设计与创造性绩效之间的关系时结果不一,从而对现有的工作设计文献有所贡献。
