Abstract

Nowadays, organizations have focused more on employees’ well-being because people have to work from home (WFH) or practice hybrid work and adapt to a new routine of work and life since COVID-19 struck the world. During working from home, employees expect more flexibility on how to handle their tasks—this is known as job autonomy. This study aimed to examine the relationship between job autonomy and wellbeing, and the mediating effects of job crafting on job autonomy and employees’ well-being during WFH in COVID-19 Pandemic. An online survey was conducted and there were 427 respondents involved. The model was analyzed using WarpPLS 7.0 and the results showed that no significant relationship was found between job autonomy and well-being. However, there was a relationship between job autonomy and job crafting, as well as between job crafting and well-being. Job crafting significantly mediated the relationship between job autonomy and well-being. This study showed that during WFH, employees have experienced an excessive degree of freedom in doing their tasks, and it had given them more pressure and decreased employees' subjective well-being. The findings may be valuable in all kinds of organizational settings when reviewing and proposing job design and well-being policies.
