Purpose- The presence of employees is indispensable for the sustenance of any company entity. Consequently, firms have made substantial investments in research endeavors over the course of several decades, with the aim of fostering employee engagement and productivity. Fostering a sense of ownership among employees and valuing their input is widely seen as an effective strategy for enhancing employee motivation. Design/methodology/approach- This study examined how goal setting affects employees' task crafting. Psychological ownership mediates goal-setting participation and task crafting behavior and Power distance moderates' goal-setting participation and task crafting behavior through psychological ownership. This study was conducted using a quantitative survey design. The survey was distributed to 372 employees working in small-scale manufacturing companies in China's six major cities. The survey measured goal-setting participation, psychological ownership, task crafting behavior, and power distance. Findings- The study's findings reveal that employee involvement in goal setting contributes to a stronger sense of psychological ownership, subsequently driving them to tailor their job tasks. The relationship is influenced by the organization's power distance, which impacts the level of ownership experienced. Research limitations/implications- This study expands basic theoretical research and sheds light on goal setting participation and task crafting. The study provides theoretical evidence that psychological ownership mediates the goal-setting participation-task crafting behavior relationship. Additionally, it helps explain how power distance moderates this association. Practical implications- In practice, this study suggests that organizations can promote task crafting behavior by supporting goal setting and psychological ownership. Psychological ownership can reduce the detrimental impacts of power distance on goal-setting participation and task crafting behavior in high-power distance cultures. Originality/Value of paper- This research addresses the need to study how goal setting affects employee task crafting. The paper suggests how organizations might encourage task crafting, especially in high-power distant cultures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
