DA SILVA JUNIOR, Domingos Isidório; FERREIRA, María Cristina and PINTO-PIZARRO-DE FREITAS, Clarisa. Effects of an intervention program based on job crafting behaviors on the work engagement of teachers. Acción psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.2, pp.119-128. Epub July 25, 2022.

Research has evidenced that interventions to increase employees’ resources and decrease their work demands can enhance their work engagement. Objective assess the efficacy of an intervention program based on job crafting behaviors on the job crafting behaviors and work engagement of teachers. The sample consisted of 82 public education teachers divided in two groups. The intervention group consisted of 41 male and female teachers (81 % female), while the comparison group also consisted of 41 male and female teachers (79.1 % female). At the end of the intervention, the scores of the participants in the intervention group on the work engagement and job crafting behaviors scales were significantly higher than the scores in the comparison group. The findings recommend the implementation of intervention programs based on the job crafting behaviors, enhancing the teachers’ awareness of their demands and resources as a way to increase their work engagement.
