Abstract

The present study evaluates the effectiveness of a mixed job crafting, strengths use, and deficit correction intervention on the proactive behaviors, work engagement, life satisfaction, and work-life balance of employees working in a home office setting. A two-armed (intervention vs. wait-list control group) randomized controlled trial with three measurement moments (pre-, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up) was designed to reach the study's goal. A sample of 80 participants part of a large multinational pharmaceutical company was randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 45) or wait-list control condition (n = 35). Mixed factorial analyses of variance showed that the combined job crafting, strengths use, and deficit correction intervention positively impacted life satisfaction (d = .47) and seeking challenging job demands (d = .44) in the short-term. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the other proactive behaviors, work engagement, or work-life balance. Moderator analyses revealed that autonomy and workload were moderators of the relationship between the intervention effectiveness and several outcomes (e.g., the intervention had a positive effect on the work-life balance of participants with low autonomy). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

工作设计、优势运用和缺陷矫正干预对员工主动行为和幸福感的影响:一项随机对照试验

本研究评估了混合工作制作、优势使用和缺陷纠正干预对家庭办公环境下员工的主动行为、工作投入、生活满意度和工作与生活平衡的有效性。为了达到研究目标，设计了一项双臂随机对照试验(干预组与等候名单对照组)，该试验有三个测量时刻(干预前、干预后和一个月的随访)。来自一家大型跨国制药公司的80名参与者被随机分配到干预组(n = 45)或等候名单控制组(n = 35)。混合因子方差分析显示，综合工作制作、优势使用和缺陷纠正干预在短期内对生活满意度(d = 0.47)和寻求具有挑战性的工作需求(d = 0.44)有积极影响。在其他主动行为、工作投入或工作与生活平衡方面，两组之间没有显著差异。调节因子分析显示，自主性和工作量是干预效果与若干结果之间关系的调节因子(例如，干预对低自主性参与者的工作与生活平衡有积极影响)。讨论了理论和实践意义。
