Research On The Impact Of Job Crafting On Successful Aging At Work

Since the beginning of the 21st century,due to policy reasons such as medical advancement,public health policies,and low fertility rates,the proportion of aging among employees has continued to increase,and this increase will inevitably lead to a shortage of labor.In order to solve this problem,the organization must make appropriate changes to improve the adaptability of older employees to the environment.In recent years,successful aging at work has been favored by scholars.It refers to the ability of elderly employees to maintain a high level of health,motivation and work ability in the current and future long-term,so that the elderly employees can continue to work.Successful aging at work helps elderly employees obtain better physical and mental health,and helps them obtain better work performance and interpersonal relationships.At present,in research on aging employees,there has been a figure of "aging job crafting",but there is still no research to explore the relationship between job crafting and successful aging at work.It is worth noting that due to the "particularities" of older employees(work experience,emotional regulation,social experience,etc.),person-job fit may have an impact on the successful aging at work.At the same time,perceived organizational support,as an external motivation for the work of older employees,will also affect the occurrence of job crafting behaviors.Based on this,this research combines theory and research to explore the relationship between job crafting and successful aging at work,and interpret it from the perspectives of individuals(person-job fit)and environment(perceived organizational support)to gain a deeper understanding of its mechanism of action.First,review the concepts of job crafting,successful aging at work,person-job fit and perceived organizational support,measurement tools,impact results,etc.,and form the research framework of this article based on this,and propose corresponding research hypotheses;Select mature scales through literature reading,conduct pre-surveys and on-site interviews,confirm the content of the questionnaire,and conduct questionnaire distribution and data collection,use software to analyze the data and verify the hypothetical content;finally,draw conclusions based on the data results:(1)The various dimensions of job crafting,including increasing structural work resources,increasing social work resources,increasing challenging work requirements,and reducing obstructive work requirements have a positive correlation with successful aging at work;(2)The dimensions of job crafting include increasing structural work resources,increasing social work resources,increasing challenging work requirements,and reducing obstructive work requirements,which have a positive correlation with person-job fit;(3)person-job fit and successful aging at work has a positive correlation;(4)person-job fit has a significant intermediary effect on the successful aging at work in the four dimensions of increasing structural work resources,increasing social work resources,increasing challenging work requirements,and reducing obstructive work requirements in job crafting;(5)perceived organizational support has a significant moderating effect on person-job fit in the four dimensions of job crafting: increasing structural work resources,increasing social work resources,increasing challenging work requirements,and reducing obstructive work requirements.The innovations of this article are mainly in two aspects.One is the innovation research scale.In this study,foreign high-trust scales are used for translation and translation,which is a "scale" that is revised after interviews and surveys in domestic companies;It is an innovative research content.The empirical research involved in this research is seldom carried out in China(job crafting and successful aging at work).Research on the working status of elderly employees has certain forward-looking value,and there is more research to explore its intermediate mechanism.It is rare,and there is innovation in research content.Future research can also in-depth job crafting and other mechanisms of successful aging at work or the realization of "aging-style" job crafting,which is more in line with impact research under special circumstances,such as the Chinese situation;in practice,corporate management should grasp the advantages of aging employees,attach importance to the connection between job crafting and successful aging at work,integrate practical measures into recruitment,training and other human resource management practices to enhance the value of aging employees.
