Sculpting Leadership on Employees’ Craft: The Conceptual Framework and Measure of Crafting Leadership by Ferdinando Paolo Santarpia, Laura Borgogni, Giulia Cantonetti, Sara Brecciaroli

“…The results supported a higher-order structure of crafting leadership, underlying three distinct behavioral facets: tailoring, person–organization alignment, and catalyst. Results revealed that crafting leadership (a) was distinct from strength-based, servant, and transformational leadership and (b) correlated with and explained additional variance in employee outcomes, namely needs–supplies fit, meaningful work, job-crafting behaviors, work engagement, and turnover intentions. …”
