Doing meaningful work results in potential benefits for employees and organizations. Research shows that job crafting contributes to the increase of meaningfulness in work. The relationship between meaningful work and job crafting is under-research with regard to low profile jobs. The aim of this master thesis is to gain empirical in-depth insight how job crafting contributes to the experienced meaningfulness of housekeeping employees in homecare, by means of looking at how job crafting techniques take place by housekeeping employees in order to increase the meaningfulness of the work. A theory oriented research was conducted in qualitative and deductive manner, using a single case study.
