• TITLE: The Effect of Developmental Feedback on Employee Job Crafting: The Mediating Role of Learning Goal Orientation

  AUTHORS: Tingting Yao, Minghua Fu

  KEYWORDS: Developmental Feedback, Learning Goal Orientation, Job Crafting

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.7 No.8, August 19, 2019

  ABSTRACT: Job crafting, as a proactive behavior, is becoming a hot topic in the field of organizational behavior. Based on the self-determination theory, this paper explored the influence mechanism of developmental feedback on employee job crafting (seeking resources, seeking challenges and reducing demands) and tested the mediating role of learning goal orientation in this relationship through a questionnaire survey of 305 employees. The results show that developmental feedback is positively related to expansion job crafting (seeking resources, seeking challenges), and is significantly negatively correlated with contraction job crafting (reducing demands); the learning goal orientation partially mediates the relationship between developmental feedback and expansion job crafting (seeking resources, seeking challenges), and fully mediates the relationship between developmental feedback and contraction job crafting (reducing demands). Finally, the implications and limitations of this empirical study are discussed.
