Validity and Reliability of Job Crafting Scale (JCS) in Sport

In contrast to job design, job crafting is staff-based and it makes work meaningful. Regarding lack of exact questionnaire to evaluate this phenomenon, this research has been conducted with aim of localizing the job crafting scale (JCS) in sport.
There were 191 staff in the ministry of youth affairs and sports randomly selected by Krejcie and Morgan table (1970) and they responded to 21 items questionnaire of job crafting scale by Tims et al (2012). Also, initial face validity and reliability of questionnaire were confirmed by 17 professors as well as some individuals of statistical sample.
The exploratory factor analysis showed that the four components including rise of structural job resources, decline of hindering job demands, rise of social job resources, and rise of challenging job demands reflected job crafting of sport human resource (accounting for 64% of the total variance) excluding item 6 and item 21. In particular, rise of social job resources component was the strongest component of job crafting in the sport human resources (R2= 0.65).
The researchers can use the 19-items job crafting scale to do research in the scope of sport human resource.
