Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of job-crafting on the perceived value of work and job engagement of teachers for young children. In this study, the data were collected by measuring the job-crafting, the perceived value of work, and job engagement as reported by 223 teachers working at a childhood educational institution in Busan, Korea. The data were analyzed by correlation and regression analyses. The results were as follows. First, job-crafting, the perceived value of work, and job engagement were positively correlated. Second, job-crafting had positive effects on the perceived value of work, and the sub-factors of job-crafting on the perceived value of work showed relative effects in the order of task crafting, cognitive crafting and relational crafting. Third, job-crafting had a positive effect on job engagement, and the sub-factors of job-crafting on job engagement showed relative effects in the order of task crafting and cognitive crafting. This study is significant as an initial empirical study of these factors, and we suggest education and programs to inform teachers for young children about job-crafting and to encourage them to engage in it.
