Potential Negative Consequences of Job Crafting


A negative consequence may arise if individuals don’t comprehend what job crafting is hence. A concern is how to develop the competence of job crafting (Dierdorff & Jensen, 2018). In job crafting team members are crafting out the undesired monotonous tasks to help them perform their job efficiently. The monotonous tasks may be necessary for the job role and if not completed could cause serious consequences. The issue may be to not craft the task out but, to develop a better way of completing the task and formal training may be the answer. Another concern is allowing employee team members to create what they want may seem to be too much freedom even if it is within a job design framework, boundaries would still need to be established if a framework was developed.
