An occupational framework is proposed as an alternative to the exclusive focus of current theory on the individual and job levels of analysis. This model extends job crafting theory by applying a multilevel framework, examining bottom-up and top-down influences of occupations, and explicates the interplay among occupation- and job-level autonomy and job crafting.,The authors conducted a two-study research program using multilevel modeling and moderated mediation analysis. Data were derived from two large-scale archival databases. Study 1 spanned 701 occupations and 50,729 individuals. Study 2 involved 270 occupations and 3,270 individuals.,Study 1 reveals that nearly one-third of the variability in job crafting is attributable to occupational context. Study 2 shows that occupational contexts moderate individual-level processes, whereby occupational-level crafting moderated the mediated effects between job-level autonomy, job-level crafting and individual-level outcomes.,Results inform interventions that can be used to facilitate job crafting. Increasing autonomy generally increases job crafting, yet this effect does not always hold. This result demonstrates the importance of attending to the occupations in which people work. Also, job crafting is related to positive outcomes for individuals (e.g. satisfaction) but is also linked to some negative consequences (e.g. burnout).,The research empirically demonstrates the need to expand job crafting theory beyond the individual and job levels, as well as offers a deeper and expanded understanding of job crafting and its relationship with people’s occupations.,Objetivo – El objetivo del presente articulo es profundizar en la comprension de la creacion del puesto (job craftig) y sus consecuencias. Se propone un marco ocupacional como alternativa al foco en el individuo y el puesto de trabajo que plantea la teoria existente. Este modelo extiende la teoria de la creacion del puesto aplicando un marco teorico multinivel, examinando las influencias abajo-arriba y arriba-debajo de las ocupaciones, y explica la interrelacion entre ocupacion, autonomia en el puesto y la creacion del puesto.,Llevamos a cabo dos estudios utilizando modelizacion multinivel y analisis de mediacion-moderacion. Los datos se obtuvieron de dos bases de datos a gran escala. El estudio 1 considera 701 ocupaciones y 50,729 individuos. El estudio 2 considera 270 ocupaciones y 3,270 individuos.,El estudio 1 revela que casi un tercio de la variabilidad en la creacion del puesto es atribuible al propio contexto de la ocupacion. El estudio 2 muestra que el contexto ocupacional modera los procesos a nivel individual mientras que la creacion a nivel ocupacional modera los efectos mediadores entre la autonomia del puesto, la creacion del puesto y los resultados a nivel individual.,Los resultados informa acerca de la actividades que pueden favorecer la creacion del puesto. Aumentar la autonomia en general aumenta la creacion del puesto, aunque este efecto no se da siempre. Este resultado demuestra la importancia de atender las ocupaciones en las que trabajan los empleados. Tambien, la creacion del puesto se relaciona con resultados positivos de los empleados (e.g. satisfaccion), pero tambien con algunas consecuencias negativas (e.g. agotamiento).,El trabajo de investigacion demuestra empiricamente la necesidad de expandir la teoria sobre la creacion del puesto mas alla del estudio del individuo o el trabajo, al tiempo que ofrece una comprension mayor y mas profunda sobre la creacion del puesto y su relacion con la ocupacion de los empleados.,Creacion del puesto (job crafting), multinivel, ocupacion, autonomia del puesto,Tipo de articulo – Trabajo de investigacion,O objetivo do presente artigo e aprofundar na compreensao da criacao do posto de trabalho (job craftig) e suas consequencias. Se propoe um marco ocupacional como alternativa ao foco no individuo e no posto de trabalho que a teoria existente planteia. Este modelo estende a teoria da criacao do posto aplicando um marco teorico multinivel, examinando as influencias abaixo acima y acima abaixo das ocupacoes, e explica a inter-relacao entre ocupacao, autonomia no posto e a criacao do posto de trabalho.,Realizamos dois estudos usando modelagem multinivel e analise de mediacao-moderacao. Os dados foram obtidos de dois bancos de dados de grande porte. O estudo 1 considera 701 ocupacoes e 50.729 individuos. O estudo 2 considera 270 ocupacoes e 3.270 individuos.,O Estudo 1 revela que quase um terco da variabilidade na criacao de empregos e atribuivel ao proprio contexto de ocupacao.

In a sample of 70 teams ( N = 380) that participated in a simulation-based team training setting designed to teach strategic decision-making, we examined how self-regulation during team training influenced the extent to which team members subsequently demonstrated individual mastery of the team training content. We also investigated the extent to which team characteristics moderated the relationships between self-regulation and learning outcomes. Multilevel mediation results indicated that self-efficacy fully mediated the effects of metacognition, or self-monitoring of learning, on individual declarative and procedural knowledge of team training content. The results also revealed that these individual-level relationships were moderated by the team context. In particular, a team’s ...

We argue that teams composed of individuals with greater levels of self-awareness will exhibit more effective team-level functioning and performance. This proposition was explored by examining the effects of self-other agreement with regard to individual-level contributions of teamwork behavior on three team-level functional outcomes (team coordination, conflict, cohesion) and team performance. Results from 515 teams (2,658 individuals) completing a high-fidelity team-based business simulation supported the effects of aggregate levels of self-awareness on team-level functioning and performance. Moreover, these effects were influential above and beyond individual contributions themselves, highlighting the unique value of team members’ self-awareness for understanding team functioning. Of the thre...
