Abstract
In order to explore the job crafting experience of millennial safety workers, this study conducted a qualitative case research with five safety workers of S Energy from March 26 to September 27, 2021 . As a result of the analysis, task crafting showed 'matching one's strong suit with a given task', 'expanding work knowledge using social network service (SNS)', and 'making changes in job performance methods for preemptive safety management activities'. Also, Cognitive crafting showed 'recognition of social vocation as a safety job', 'recognition of a role to grow as a safety management expert', and 'cognitive changes from means of organizational adaptation to enjoyment and energy of life'. At the same time, in relation crafting, 'establishment of amicable relationships through SNS in non-face-to-face and rapid communicating situations', 'safety management made through with mutual cooperations between business people', and 'reborn as a mutual safety net in business relationships' appeared. These can be used as basic data to accumulate the theoretical basis for job crafting research of millennial safety workers and to improve their job satisfaction. A follow-up study was proposed for safety workers with occupations of various kinds.
