Employees often change various aspects of their jobs to their liking (i.e., job crafting), yet little is known about how different aspects of supervisor-subordinate fit influence this behavior. This paper investigates the extent to which supervisor adaptive personality predicts subordinate job crafting and the complex processes that affect this relationship. We found (1) there is a positive relationship between supervisor adaptive personality and subordinate job crafting, (2) subordinate need for autonomy fulfillment mediates this relationship, and (3) the indirect effect of supervisor adaptive personality on subordinate job crafting (via subordinate need for autonomy fulfillment) is stronger when there is high supervisor-subordinate value-congruence. We conclude that organizations can develop selection tools that can assess supervisors' adaptivity, making them enablers of employee-oriented changes that create more opportunities for workplace challenges, growth, and engagement.
员工经常会根据自己的喜好改变工作的各个方面（即工作重塑），然而，对于上下级匹配的不同方面如何影响这种行为，我们却知之甚少。本文研究了上级适应性人格在多大程度上能够预测下属的工作重塑以及影响这种关系的复杂过程。我们发现：（1）上级适应性人格与下属工作重塑之间存在正相关关系；（2）下属的自主需求满足在这一关系中起中介作用；（3）当上下级价值一致性较高时，上级适应性人格对下属工作重塑的间接影响（通过下属的自主需求满足）更强。我们得出结论，组织可以开发评估上级适应性的选拔工具，使他们成为推动以员工为导向的变革的助力者，从而为工作场所的挑战、成长和参与创造更多机会。
