The restructuring of work through time and spatial flexibility has gained popularity in numerous organizations. This study aims to explore the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Job Crafting Questionnaire and establish its validity within a flexible work environment. A total of 309 adult workers from various economic sectors participated in the survey (with a mean age of 30.26 years, 60% female). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three‐factor structure (cognitive, task, and relational crafting) of the Job Crafting Questionnaire. Additionally, measurement invariance across gender was observed. The analyses conducted revealed satisfactory internal consistency. Convergent validity was supported by positive correlations with work engagement and organizational citizenship behavior. Respondents with higher levels of self‐efficacy reported engaging in more job crafting. The associations between job crafting and burnout were found to be weak. The results of the study provide empirical support for the three‐dimensional conceptualization of job crafting as delineated in the Job Crafting Questionnaire. The study also suggests a good reliability, factor validity, and convergent validity of the instrument within a flexible work environment. A limitation of this study is that the results are based on a specific group of participants, so further research with different populations is needed to confirm whether the findings apply more broadly across various contexts.
