This research aims to add to the body of knowledge about positive organizational interventions by analyzing the influence of job crafting intervention (JCI) on employees' job crafting behaviors. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. The treatment / experiment was a four hour long structured workshop on job crafting and its implementation. A pre-test and post-test methodology was used, and participants' initial job crafting levels were measured without prior knowledge and intimation. From this group the control and treatment group were divided and the later went through the job crafting intervention. Subsequently, four weeks after the intervention, both groups’ individual job crafting levels were measured using the same standardized job crafting scale. The intervention showed a significant positive effect on levels of job crafting. A mean difference of 4.2 to 4.8 (6-point scale) was observed respectively for the pre and post job crafting levels. A strong positive correlation was also found after the job crafting intervention in improving scores . All the results were tested and proved to be significant through the statistical tests. The research findings suggested that the job crafting intervention experiment successfully enhanced job crafting behavior of individuals. Participants' responses to an open-ended question and interaction at the end of the intervention reflected a positive impact, enabling them to relook at their jobs with more significant meaning. Further research should investigate additional factors influencing the intervention's effectiveness and long-term effects on professionals at workplace and performance.
