PROMPT:
Job Design and Job Descriptions provide a foundation for an effective Human Resource program in areas such as talent recruitment [Chapter 5], talent selection [Chapter 6], talent development [Chapter 7], and improving employee performance [Chapter 8].The essential functions outlined in the Job Description reduce the risk of illegally discriminating based on disability [ADA, Chapter 3].
Employee motivation is an important aspect of designing today’s jobs. The Job Characteristics model, which is covered in this week’s chapter, has five components—skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. Provide an example of how each component can be used to improve an organization and an employee’s job. (Suggestion: consider your present or a recent job or a job with which you are very familiar to answer this question.) Start by identifying the job—give the title and a brief job description, especially if the job is one with which others might not be familiar or which has unique feature(s).
Hint: On a scale of 1 to 5, rate each of the five core job characteristics, with 1 being the least motivating and 5 the highest. Use your ratings to come up with action items that could be implemented to improve any characteristic that you scored less than 5.
