目的：本研究采用随机对照研究方法，对日本员工的工作投入作为主要结果，工作制作作为次要结果进行干预。方法将符合纳入标准的受试者随机分为干预组（n = 138）和对照组（n = 143）。工作制作干预计划只提供给干预组，包括两次120分钟的小组会议，并有电子邮件或信件跟进。两组在基线、3个月和6个月随访时评估结果。结果在总样本中，工作制作干预方案在随访3个月和6个月时对工作投入的影响均不显著。此外，工作制作没有显著改善。然而，该项目显示出对工作投入的显著干预效应（p = 0.04），而对低工作制作亚组的工人的影响较小（科恩的d = 0.33）。结论工作制作干预方案可能不足以有效地提高整个样本参与者的工作投入和工作制作。然而，它可能对从事较低工作类别的工人有效。
ObjectiveThe current randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of a job crafting intervention program on work engagement as the primary outcome and job crafting as the secondary outcome among Japanese employees.MethodsParticipants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 138) or a control group (n = 143). The job crafting intervention program provided only to the intervention group consisted of two 120-minute group sessions with e-mail or letter follow-up. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and at 3-month and 6-month follow-up in both groups.ResultsIn the total sample, the job crafting intervention program showed a non-significant effect on work engagement at both 3-month and 6-month follow-up. Also, job crafting did not improve significantly. However, the program showed a significant intervention effect on work engagement (p = 0.04) with small effect size (Cohen's d = 0.33 at 3-month follow-up) of workers in a lower job crafting subgroup.ConclusionThe job crafting intervention program may not be sufficiently effective to improve work engagement and job crafting for the entire sample of participants. However, it may be effective for workers in lower job crafting subcategories.
