- Abstract
Job crafting can be seen as a form of proactive behavior in an organizational context. It refers to behaviors that workers can implement to restore the balance between their job demands and the resources they use to cope with them. This study tests the psychometric properties of the French version of the Job crafting scale (JCS-F) originally developed by Tims et al. (2012). To this end, the original scale was translated from English into French and then back-translated by two bilingual translators. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to establish the instrument's factor structure. Correlation and regression analyses were subsequently conducted to verify the nomological reliability and validity of the instrument. The results indicate that the JCS-F has a four-factor structure consistent with the conceptualization of Tims et al. (2012). These results suggest that the JCS-F can be used to measure job crafting reliably and validly. In addition, most of the job crafting dimensions are significantly correlated with the following variables: psychological empowerment (PE), leader--member exchange, organizational innovative behaviors, proactive personality, and work engagement.
