Table 2. Coding framework example based on the job crafting categories.

Category	Sub-category	Code	Meaning unit
Task crafting	Take immediate action	Arranged equipment	‘I’ve been to Jula and Clas Ohlson [edit: retail stores], it’s been totally crazy, and bought loads of gear. I’ve bought a tent (…) I’ve been a bit impressed, and thought, what a huge thing we’ve achieved.’ (GP 14)
Relational crafting	Social relations support	Discuss approaches to clinical work	‘And then we discussed together. What do you think? What should I think? What should I do with patients who come in with a really high pulse and normal breathing? How should I act? And they complain that they have trouble breathing. We discussed like that back and forth.’ (GP 10)
Cognitive crafting	Strengthened work identity	Proud to contribute	‘It was sad not getting any support, but I’m really proud to feel I have done everything I can from my perspective as a doctor.’ (GP 4)
