Penerapan skema kerja remote working kini menjadi bagian dari kondisi normal baru usai pandemi. Implementasi skema tersebut menimbulkan tantangan peningkatan tuntutan kerja yang disebut dapat teratasi dengan hadirnya perilaku job crafting. Data, yang didapatkan dari 241 partisipan melalui pengisian kuesioner daring yang berisi tiga alat ukur, yaitu Job Crafting Scale, Empowering Leadership Scale, dan Life Orientation Test–Revised, diolah dengan metode analisis regresi moderasi menggunakan IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesesuaian dengan hipotesis bahwa empowering leadership berperan signifikan terhadap job crafting dan optimisme sebagai moderator mampu memperkuat peran tersebut. Dengan mengetahui interaksi empowering leadership, job crafting, dan optimisme dalam skema kerja remote working, diharapkan organisasi dapat terus mencetak pemimpin yang empower dan pegawai yang optimis guna mendorong timbulnya job crafting sebagai bentuk penyesuaian akan tantangan lingkungan kerja yang dihadapi.

The implementation of remote working arrangements is now part of the post-pandemic new normal. The challenge of this working scheme is the increasing job demands, which are supposed to be overcome by the presence of job crafting. Data obtained from 241 participants by completing an online questionnaire containing three measures, namely the Job Crafting Scale, the Empowering Leadership Scale and the Life Orientation Test-Revised, were processed using the moderation analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that empowering leadership plays an important role in job crafting and that optimism, as a moderator, can enhance this role. By knowing the interactions between empowering leadership, job crafting, and optimism in remote working arrangements, it is hoped that organization can continue to develop empowered leaders and optimistic employees to promote job crafting as a form of adaptation to the challenges of the work environment.
