Revision of the Act on Securing Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Products Including Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices and establishment of community-based integrated care systems are driving reforms in the job performed by pharmacists. As a result, along with pharmacist recruitment, pharmacist job redesign is now a significant issue. It is essential to analyze the factors that promote job crafting, which is organizational behavior in which pharmacists (and other workers) voluntarily redesign their jobs. This study measures job crafting among pharmacists and conducts a preliminary examination of its significance. Specifically, we confirm the correlations between the three components of job commitment and the four components of job crafting. As an improvement to the measurement scale, we propose dividing the job-crafting domain into two categories, "interpersonal" and "non-interpersonal," to properly categorize the different types of work performed by pharmacists.
