Job design theories and researchers working on this field have expressed their views on the basic assumption that the responsibility for designing work has fallen in to the area of responsibility of managers. The changes and transformations experienced in the work life especially in the last thirty years have necessitated the implementation of different approaches to the design of the work. New approaches that focus on proactive roles and behaviors in uncertain and complex environment rather than those approaches that center upon job descriptions have led to the development of similar perspectives on job design. Job crafting involves the employee to redesign his or her own work and change the different aspects of the job, and allows the work to be aligned with its own skills, needs, values and preferences.

Work engagement and psychological capital are two important outcomes among individual outcomes of job crafting.
