Abstract:
The changing world of work is leading more and more people to reflect on the meaning and organization of their work. Increased flexibility allows individuals to define and shape their own jobs. However, adapting one’s job, which is referred to as job crafting, is a challenging manual task since many variables can be modified with unclear dependencies. Hence, to systematically promote job crafting behaviors, Job Crafting Information Systems (JCIS) were proposed a decade ago. However, up to now, it is highly unclear which IT-supported interventions could be implemented in such systems. Against this gap, we develop an integrated model that matches the different job crafting behaviors discussed in the literature with supporting and facilitating IT components. As a result of our literature review, we include the functional IT components recommendation, coaching, time management, and complaint management and identify gamification, simplification, prediction, and integration as important no
n-functional characteristics of JCIS.
