자기주도 직무설계(Job Crafting) 행위가 일중독에 미치는 영향에서 심리적분리의 조절효과

While traditional job design approaches including job characteristics theory followed top-down process, job crafting which permit job holder to customize the way how to do their job to their situation are drawing attention on the assumption that they are not the management but the job holders with enough experience who can find out the best way for executing their jobs. Among the studies which reported the positive effects of job crafting, Zeijen, Peeters, & Hakanen (2018) tried to investigate both the positive and negative side of job crafting by adopting workaholism and job engagement as dependent variables of job crafting. While Zeijen et al. (2018) contrasted the positive effects and negative effects of job crafting by adopting job engagement as positive outcome and workaholism which is defined as unidimensional construct as negative outcome, we expanded Zeijen et al.’s (2018) study by adopting ‘work enjoyment’ dimension as positive effect and ‘work driven’ dimension as negative dimension out of Spence & Robbins’ (1992) workaholism model on the base of intensive literature review on the effects of sub-dimensions of workaholism. Namely, by comparing the effects of job crafting on sub-dimensions selected out of same workaholism model in the same structural equation model, this study made the positive side and negative side of job crafting clearer compared with Zeijen et al.’s (2018) study. Furthermore, to strengthen the practical implication of this study, we also explored the potential moderator on the relationship between job crafting and each dimension of workaholism, which let us know more about how to manage job crafting. As it is impossible to lower the level of goal or reduce work hour in competitive environment, how to rest is as important as how long to rest. In this vein, psychological detachment which is a way to rest are attracting academic and practical attention. On the assumption that the strategy of rest like psychological detachment will promote recovery process, we also investing the moderating effects of psychological detachment on the relationship between job crafting and two each dimensions of workaholism with hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed the main effect of job crafting on ‘work enjoyment’ dimension was statistically significant but the main effect on ‘work driven’ dimension was not supported. The two moderating effect of psychological detachment on both relationship were all supported. For more detail, as psychological detachment increase, the positive relationship between job crafting and ‘work enjoyment’ dimension became stronger. On the contrary, psychological detachment showed different moderating effects on the relationship between job crafting and ‘work driven’ dimension. Namely, the relationship was negative when psychological detachment was high but the relationship was positive when psychological detachment was low. Furthermore, we discussed on theoretical and practical implications of these results.
