minimized?

Answer 1

Job crafting has potential drawbacks like loss of focus, a conflict between organizational and individual goals, and inefficiency due to a lack of cooperation between employees. The most suitable way to minimize it is to work out organizational governance over the job crafting process. The organization should establish a management structure where superior employees can approve, reject, coordinate or monitor the process.
