Bio:

Nicholas Kristock lives his life by a code: Build. Empower. Serve.

He is a former international soccer player turned serial entrepreneur and servant leader, and he has found his fit in the social impact world by building businesses that solve problems.

In 2015, Nicholas founded Fleece & Thank You (still serves as the Executive Director), an innovative 501(c)3 organization that provides psychosocial support and programs to children in the hospital.

In 2016, he founded the startup company Empathy 313, which makes technology solutions for social impact organizations, in 2018, he founded Crate of Good, a social impact subscription box, and in 2019 he founded Flockets.com, an apparel site that funds microloans for families with a child battling cancer.

Something interesting about Nicholas is that he has lived homeless for a week in Sydney, Australia as a member of the startup team for Orange Sky Laundry, the world’s first mobile laundry service for the homeless.

What happens when a company makes a decision to hire women for every role in a country where educational and employment opportunities heavily favor men? The result is that the entire community is transformed as women invest in their educations, make economic decisions within their households, have increased access to medial care, and begin to assume leadership roles.

Professor Laurence will present Motivation of Job Crafting: Evidence from Japan and China for the Center for Japanese Studies (CJS) at the University of Michigan. The event will take place Thursday, February 14 from 12:00-1:30PM in Room 110 Weiser Hall. Questions can be directed to umcjs@umich.edu.

Event details:

This research contributes to our understanding of job crafting by investigating the role of enjoyment of work and driven to work as job crafting motivations. 154 Supervisor-Employee dyads were surveyed. Enjoyment of work and driven to work were supported as motivators of job crafting. An interaction effect was observed, with low driven to work weakening the relationship between enjoyment of work and job crafting. Job crafting mediated the relationship between the two motivators and job performance. We add to researchers’ understanding of motivations for job crafting while making the first attempt to explore the job crafting phenomenon in East Asia. 

Dr. Greg Laurence teaches negotiation, organizational behavior, and HR in graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Michigan-Flint. His research revolves around employee well-being, including phenomena such as workspace personalization, workaholism, and job crafting. Greg earned his PhD, MBA, and MA in International Relations from Syracuse University. 

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
