The mediating role of person-job fit and person-organization fit in the effect of job crafting on work flow experience

It is known that there are studies in the relevant literature that address the work flow experience of employees. In contrast to previous studies, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of job crafting on work flow experience and whether person-job fit and person-organization fit have a mediating role in this effect. Data were collected from 921 healthcare workers using convenience sampling and face-to-face survey. SPSS, Process Macro and Jamovi programs were used to analyse the data obtained. As a result of the statistical analysis, many results were obtained. Job crafting has a direct positive and significant effect on person-job fit, person-organization fit and work flow experience. In addition, all dimension of job crafting (task crafting, cognitive crafting and relational crafting) have a direct positive and significant effect on the person-job fit, person-organization fit and work flow experience dimensions of absorption, work enjoyment and intrinsic work motivation. Person-job fit and person-organization fit have a direct positive and significant effect on both work flow experience and the work flow experience dimensions of absorption, work enjoyment and intrinsic work motivation. On the other hand, both person-job fit and person-organization fit have a mediating role in the indirect positive and significant effect of job crafting on work flow experience. At the same time, both person-job fit and person-organisation fit have a mediating role in the indirect positive and significant effect of each dimension of job crafting (task crafting, cognitive crafting and relational crafting) on the dimensions of work flow experience (absorption, work enjoyment and intrinsic work motivation). The results were discussed and recommendations were made.
