Abstract
This study was conducted with the objective of developing a model for job crafting among faculty members at Persian Gulf University. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in data-driven grounded theory, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 faculty members. Sampling was carried out using the snowball technique, and data analysis was performed based on Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory approach, utilizing selective and axial coding. To ensure the rigor and validity of the findings, the data were examined by experts, and coding was independently conducted by two researchers. The results revealed that the proposed model consists of 58 key concepts organized into five primary categories: antecedents, strategies, intervening factors, contextual determinants, and consequences. The model indicates that job crafting facilitates both personal and professional development of faculty members, contributing to increased creativity, motivation, and productivity within the academic environment. The findings of this study have practical implications for university policy-making and administration, aimed at establishing appropriate conditions to promote job crafting and enhance the quality of teaching and research.
