Abstract
This study aims to investigate some antecedents of job crafting. Within the literature, studies suggest that some individual and organizational factors lead employees to customize their jobs according to their abilities, preferences and needs. Therefore, self-efficacy, perceived organizational support and job characteristics are considered as predictors of job crafting within the scope of the study.

According to the results of study, from the individual antecedents’ perspective, it is found out that selfefficacy has a positive and significant effect on job crafting. However, from the organizational perspective, research results indicate that some of the dimensions of job characteristics skill variety and feedback effect job crafting positively, whereas task significance & autonomy dimension has no significant effects on job crafting. Moreover, it is seen that perceived organizational support dimensions have no significant effect on job crafting.
