Provisional Coding Framework and Mapping to Theoretical Framework.
| CODE | DESCRIPTION | MAPPING TO JOB CRAFTING |
|---|---|---|
| Goals, Desires, and Value | Statements related to personal and professional goals, desired job traits and activities, and values the individual holds that influenced job selection. | Motivations for why early-career EES may craft their positions. |
| Role Description | A description of the individual’s current position and the responsibilities associated with their role, including, but not limited to, teaching, research, and service. | Information on the actual job responsibilities, institutional context, and support/resources that were provided to the early-career EES that would determine their flexibility and/or capabilities for crafting their position to meet their individual outcomes (or desired Impact). |
| Strategic Actions | Discussion of actions the individuals take related to their responsibilities to help achieve their goals, desires, and values. | Crafting techniques used by early-career EES when crafting their roles. |
| Meaning Making | Key interpretations of roles and responsibilities that lead individuals to take strategic actions within those roles to obtain their goals, desires, and values. | Bridge between all three areas in job crafting theory (motivations to craft, crafting techniques, and individual outcomes) providing insight into how and why early-career EES believed that they were able to be successful within their roles. |
| Impact | Participants perceived impact through their role(s) and responsibilities. | Individual outcomes that EES sought to achieve through their crafting. |
| Other Notes | A catch-all for anything else captured in the interviews that was deemed relevant to the common themes in the participants’ stories. | Elements important for undertaking actions at EES’ specific institutions not specific to the job or role itself. |
