This master's thesis examines the influence of job crafting on employee work engagement, particularly in different work environments – traditional, remote, and virtual reality spaces. The objective of the research is to reveal how job crafting affects employee work engagement and which factors contribute to this impact in various work settings. The thesis identifies aspects of job crafting related to employees’ tasks, relationships, and work perception, and explores how these elements can be applied to increase employee motivation and effectiveness. The subject of the research is job crafting and its impact on employee engagement, considering different work environments. First, the concept and dimensions of employee work engagement are explored based on Schaufeli and Bakker’s model (2004), and the principles of job crafting and its application in various work environments are discussed, drawing from theoretical sources and empirical studies. The paper examines how job crafting in traditional, remote, and VR work environments fosters employee engagement and what strategies can be applied to address the unique challenges of these settings. The research methodology includes both a theoretical literature review and an empirical study, which was conducted using semi-structured interviews with employees and managers. The empirical results revealed that job crafting has a positive impact on employee engagement, particularly in remote and VR work environments, where employees often face challenges related to social isolation and work motivation. The VR environment, as an innovative work model, provides employees with the opportunity to actively shape their work environment, which can enhance their engagement and motivation. The findings of the thesis indicate that job crafting initiatives are important not only in traditional work environments but also in remote and virtual spaces. To ensure high levels of employee engagement, organizations are recommended to implement job crafting programs that help employees adapt their work to their personal needs and values. It is also crucial to consider the specific characteristics of each work environment and apply appropriate job crafting strategies to enhance employee motivation and improve organizational performance. |
