Abstract. Public administration employees work in a structured environment that is oriented toward public service; thus, job crafting has become one of the strategies employees use to shape a meaningful work experience. This study aims to examine the characteristics of job crafting and meaningful work and to analyze the contribution of job crafting dimensions to meaningful work among public administration employees in Sukabumi City. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and involved 110 public administration employees in Sukabumi City. Data were collected using the Job Crafting Scale (JCS) by Tims et al. (2012) and the Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI) by Steger et al. (2012), which had been adapted by Fajri et al. (2023), and were subsequently analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that job crafting and meaningful work fall into the high category, with the “Increasing Social Job Resources” dimension being the highest-scoring job crafting dimension. The research model explains 44.8% of the variation in meaningful work (R² = 0.448). Therefore, the higher the level of job crafting performed by employees, the higher the level of meaningful work they experience in their jobs.
Abstrak. Pegawai administrasi publik bekerja dalam lingkungan yang terstruktur dan berorientasi pada pelayanan masyarakat, sehingga job crafting menjadi salah satu upaya pegawai dalam membentuk pengalaman kerja yang bermakna (meaningful work). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran job crafting dan meaningful work serta menganalisis kontribusi dimensi-dimensi job crafting terhadap meaningful work pada pegawai administrasi publik di Kota Sukabumi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional dan melibatkan 110 pegawai administrasi publik di Kota Sukabumi. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan Job Crafting Scale (JCS) dari Tims et al. (2012) dan Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI) dari Steger et al. (2012) yang telah diadaptasi oleh Fajri et al. (2023), kemudian dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa job crafting dan meaningful work berada pada kategori tinggi, dengan dimensi Increasing Social Job Resources sebagai dimensi job crafting tertinggi. Model penelitian menjelaskan 44,8% variasi meaningful work (R² = 0,448). Dengan demikian, semakin tinggi job crafting yang dilakukan pegawai, semakin tinggi pula meaningful work yang dirasakan dalam pekerjaannya.
