Advice Network Centrality as a Social Origin of Task Crafting: The Bridging Roles of Basic Psychological Needs
1Division of Business Administration, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Republic of Korea.
Abstract:
Little is known about the predictive role of advice networks in task crafting despite the growing academic and practical interest in its antecedents. Accordingly, as centrality in advice networks is expected to have a positive relationship with task crafting, this study develops a research model encompassing the mediating roles of the fulfillment of basic psychological needs to clarify this relationship. The model was tested using a sample composed of 198 employees from various firms in South Korea. The results showed that employees who occupy central positions in the advice network fulfilled their autonomy and competence needs, consequently engaging in task crafting. This study contributes to the literature on social networks, self-determination, and task crafting by discovering hidden antecedents and pivotal mechanisms in determining task crafting.
