The purpose of this study is to identify elements of job crafting impacts on work engagement and individual work performance in Vietnamese commercial banks. The research data, collected from 226 bank officers, uses the quantitative research tools as: Cronbach's Alpha Analysis, Explanatory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis as well as Structural Equation Modeling. The results of the hypothesis test show that only two hypotheses (H2, H3) are accepted: the impact of cognitive crafting on work engagement of bank officers (H2) and the impact of work engagement on individual work performance (H3). However, three remaining relationships (H1, H4, H5) are not accepted in the study: the impact of relational crafting on work engagement of bank officers (H1), the impact of relational crafting on individual work performance of bank officers (H4) and the impact of cognitive crafting on individual work performance of bank officers (H5). The study results indicate that cognition on job crafting leaves positive impacts on work engagement, leading to individual work performance enhancement. On the other hand, the relational crafting element implies contribution on neither collective nor individual working performances. Furthermore, no direct effect of cognition on job crafting to individual performance has been identified.

With the global pandemic in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the business environment of companies was engulfed by rapid volatility and uncertainty. In particular, in order for an organization to have high competitiveness due to the spread of the flexible work system, relationship management with members of the organization and self-directed job crafting are recognized as important key resources. This study aims to investigate how relational energy and resilience within a corporate organization affect job crafting and to verify the effect of job crafting on individual job performance. For empirical research, 400 valid responses to employees of general companies were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and Smart PLS 3.0. As a result of the analysis, first, it was confirmed that relational energy did not have a positive (+) effect on task crafting. Second, it was found that relational energy had a positive (+) effect on relational crafting and cognitive crafting, respectively. Third, it was found that resilience had a positive (+) effect on both task crafting, relationship crafting, and cognitive crafting that constitute job crafting. Fourth, it was found that job crafting had a positive (+) effect on individual job performance. Based on these research results, we intend to derive academic and practical implications and provide practical help to follow-up researchers and stakeholders.

We study confirmed the factors influencing the organizational culture(collective culture, development culture, rational culture, hierarchical culture) perceived by members of the organization and the manager's authentic leadership(self-awareness, balanced information processing, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective) on job crafting. In addition, the relationship between organizational culture and authentic leadership was empirically analyzed. In order to verify the hypothesis of the research model, the survey results of 269 parts were verified as follows using the statistical program of SPSS 24.0. First, the organizational cultures perceived by members of the organization, development culture and rational culture, showed positive (+) influence on job crafting. In other words, Hypothesis 1 established by the research model was partially adopted. Second, the group culture, development culture, and rational culture of organizational culture were statistically significant in the relationship between the hypothesis 2 organizational culture and authentic leadership. In other words, Hypothesis 2 was partially adopted. Third, the three hypotheses of authentic leadership (self-awareness, balanced information processing, relational transparency, and an internalized moral perspective) all showed positive (+) effects on job crafting. As a result of this study, it was possible to confirm the importance of the organizational culture that improves the job-crafting of the members of the organization and the strategic activation plan for authentic leadership. Therefore, the necessity of strategic human resource development for the development and application of programs to revitalize organizational culture and improve the manager's authentic leadership has emerged.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Korean Job Crafting Scale. First, previous studies on the concept and measurement of job crafting were reviewed, and items were developed based on this review. The content validity of the scale was examined using a focus group interview consisting of 10 HRM professionals. Following modification of the items, the measurements were administered to 305 employees from 8 Korean firms, and exploratory factor analysis was conducted in order to examine the factorial validity of the scale. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis was implemented concerning data collected from 295 employees who work in 7 Korean firms. Results indicated that the measurement model sufficiently explained the data at an appropriate level, and the subscales featured convergent and discriminant validity. If the scale developed in this study is validated in further studies, it can be employed to conduct research regarding job crafting in Korean organizations.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a campus-based intervention program to enhance food literacy (FL) among university students. Methods: In the initial phase, we conducted a literature review of FL intervention studies and held in-depth interviews with university students to identify facilitators and barriers to improving and practicing FL. Expert counseling sessions were conducted with nutrition education, marketing, and service design professionals. The results of this phase led to the creation of an initial curriculum draft. In the second phase, a follow-up survey was conducted with young adults to assess the acceptability of the developed curriculum. After the follow-up survey, additional meetings were conducted with the aforementioned experts, and the curriculum was further refined based on their input. Results: An 11-week FL intervention program was devised using constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory. The weekly curriculum consisted of 90-min theory-based and 90-min hands-on experience sessions. Three primary aspects of FL were covered: nutrition and food safety, cultural and relational dimensions, and socio-ecological aspects. Program highlights included cooking sessions for crafting traditional Korean desserts, lectures on animal welfare, insights into zero-waste practices, and communal eating experiences. Based on the study team's previous research, the program also addressed mindful eating, helping participants understand the relationship with their eating habits, and providing strategies to manage negative emotions without resorting to food. Yoga sessions and local farm visits were incorporated into the curriculum to promote holistic well-being. Conclusions: This study elucidated the comprehensive process of creating a campus-based curriculum to enhance FL among university students, a group particularly susceptible to problematic eating behaviors and low FL levels. The developed program can serve as a blueprint for adaptation to other campuses seeking to bolster students' FL.
