Job crafting after making mistakes: can leadership be an obstacle?

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Researchers based in Portugal showed in a study how individual personal growth initiative (PGI) mediates the relationship between human errors and job crafting. The results also revealed how feedback from leadership had the opposite moderating effect to what was expected – the higher the feedback, the weaker the positive relationship between error orientation and PGI. Originality The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
