Abstract

This paper employs a qualitative methodology to explore how and with what consequences work becomes a refuge for employees who experienced grief-inducing experiences in their personal lives. Using the results of 61 in-depth interviews, I develop a process model of work-as-refuge. The process explicates how work becomes a refuge in its three different forms: attention-based, time-based, and emotion-based. These forms are brought about by job crafting and provide a different mechanism to deal with grief. I also show the consequences of using job crafting to make work a refuge. This paper advances theorizing on work-life interface and job crafting.
