Psychological empowerment and job crafting among employees of a non-profit organization in UrubambaContenido principal del artículo
Contexto: El empoderamiento psicológico y el job crafting son constructos activos en la psicología organizacional, pero su relación no había sido sistemáticamente integrada a pesar de la evidencia empírica creciente y dispersa. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre empoderamiento psicológico y job crafting en contextos organizacionales mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Metodología: Se consultaron Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycInfo y ERIC, considerando publicaciones entre 2019 y 2026. De 2.167 registros identificados, 52 estudios cuantitativos que midieron ambos constructos en trabajadores de diversos sectores cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA 2020. Resultados: Se encontró una correlación positiva significativa entre empoderamiento psicológico y job crafting (r = 0,50). Las dimensiones de significado y competencia se asociaron con el crafting cognitivo, mientras que autodeterminación e impacto se vincularon con el crafting de tareas. El liderazgo empoderador y transformacional actuó como mediador clave, potenciando la relación entre ambos constructos. Conclusiones: El empoderamiento psicológico y el job crafting son interrelacionados y su sinergia contribuye al bienestar laboral. Se recomienda la realización de estudios longitudinales y la diversificación geográfica para fortalecer la evidencia sobre esta relación y su aplicabilidad en distintos contextos organizacionales.
Background: Psychological empowerment and job crafting are pivotal constructs in organizational psychology; however, their relationship has not been systematically integrated despite increasing yet fragmented empirical evidence. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between psychological empowerment and job crafting within organizational contexts through a systematic literature review. Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycInfo, and ERIC, covering publications from 2019 to 2026. Following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, 52 quantitative studies measuring both constructs across various sectors were selected from an initial pool of 2,167 records. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between psychological empowerment and job crafting (r=50). The dimensions of meaning and competence were associated with cognitive crafting, whereas self-determination and impact were linked to task crafting. Furthermore, empowering and transformational leadership emerged as key mediators, strengthening the relationship between both constructs. Conclusions: Psychological empowerment and job crafting are deeply interrelated, and their synergy enhances occupational well-being. Future research should prioritize longitudinal designs and geographic diversification to bolster the evidence regarding this relationship and its applicability across diverse organizational settings.
