Abstract
At present there is a growing demand for cooperation and teamwork at the workplace. Meanwhile, in the background, more and more employees are participating in job crafting, a proactive stance in modifying aspects of the job. So far, most research has stayed on the individual level of the notion while highlighting the positive outcomes of approach job crafting. This has created a gap in the literature where little is known about how work colleagues might be negatively affected by this type of job crafting. The current study aims to uncover whether employees tend to engage in more relationship conflict when their coworker is actively approach job crafting based on the premises of relative deprivation theory. Moreover, it is hypothesized that zero-sum mindset positively moderates this interaction. To investigate this, a self-report cross-sectional questionnaire (N = 91) was conducted. No significant results to support either hypothesis were found. Consequently, it is deduced that more research is needed to confidently reject the existence of an interaction. Further theoretical and practical implications are addressed in the paper. Keywords: job crafting, approach job crafting, interpersonal perspective, relationship conflict, zero-sum mindset
