Abstract
This article proposes a framework meant to explain the impact of Generative AI on the phenomenon of job crafting. An in-depth analysis of the literature has allowed us to understand the differentiating element of a new form of job crafting, which sees the crafting of the work enabled by Generative AI, and - more specifically - by LLM (Large Language Models) application. The framework proposes to use the sociotechnical system as a reference model, yet focusing on two of its components: “technology” and “people”. The framework specifies the characteristics of the interaction between technology (Generative AI) and people (the crafters, i.e. workers who practice job crafting) by exploiting the most recent studies on both topics. Unlike the traditional applications of the sociotechnical model, this framework proposes to see the interdependence between technology and people as a cyclic ever-stopping reciprocal influence.
