Research on job crafting has burgeoned lately. However, most previous studies have failed to notice that the concept was originally propounded for focusing on subjective change in experience of a job. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between job crafting and psychological ownership for the job as a concept representing the experience of a job. The results of a three-wave survey revealed that psychological ownership for the job (time 1) had positive impacts on all three dimensions of job crafting (time 2) and that only cognitive job crafting (time 2) was positively related to psychological ownership for the job (time 3) in turn. These findings contribute to the literature by suggesting that job crafting can be considered as a changing process of experience of a job by strengthening psychological ownership for the job.
