The current study investigated the multilevel longitudinal associations between ward-level team job crafting at baseline and individual-level work engagement and other work-related outcomes at 3-month and 6-month follow-ups among Japanese nurses. The results showed no significant longitudinal association. While team job crafting has been put forward as a method to promote nurses’ mental health, the impact may not exist in a longer-term follow-up. Additional analyses showed that the increase in ward-level crafting for the task considering team growth may be related to an individual-level increase in work engagement. In hospital wards, nursing managers setting up an environment to encourage crafting task boundaries for team members’ growth may contribute to increasing nurses’ work engagement.
