Abstract: The expression of religious identity at work has long been a neglected theme, despite a growing revival of interest. This research responds to the call for a more dynamic vision of the topic, to understand how employees reconcile religiosity and professionality in more or less constraining contexts. We study the case of workers who convert to a new religion during their career. Using a qualitative, longitudinal methodology, we follow 22 converts to Islam working in French companies, through 3 interviews over a year (66 interviews). The results show the existence of several forms of job-crafting based on identity, leading to four main strategies for reconciling religious and professional identities. The research makes an original connection between identity transitions, religious identity and job-crafting.
