Abstract In view of the integration trend of job crafting researches from the two perspectives of the work role theory and the job resource theory, based on 285 English and 78 Chinese study on job crafting published from January 2000 to December 2022, this study firstly summarizes the research of job crafting, differentiates the main differences in the job crafting content, motivation, and purpose from the two theoretical perspectives and comments on the respective value and shortcoming of the existing integration researches by the method of structured literature review following the “theoretical toolbox” approach. Then, based on the existing results of qualitative and quantitative researches, this study proposes a dual process dynamic model for the formation and development of job crafting. According to the dynamic model and the new problems in the development of job crafting theory, it is pointed out that future research should focus on: researches on the integration of the two theoretical perspectives of job crafting; researches on the causal relationship between job crafting motivation and job crafting behavior and the effect of work context on the causal relationship; researches on the relationship between job crafting behaviors and results; researches on the feedback effect of job crafting behaviors’ results on job crafting behaviors; researches on cross-cultural comparative study of job crafting; researches on team crafting.
