Start out this module by viewing this two videos that will give you an
overview of both traditional job
redesign techniques as well as the newer concept of job crafting:

Now for a more in-depth view of job design dig into the following
two readings. Pay special attention
to the concepts of job rotation, job enrichment, and job enlargement.
Also, pay attention to the
core job characteristics such as task variety, autonomy, etc. discussed
in both readings:

3. Module 3 - SLPJob Redesign
As with the Case Assignment, make sure you have thoroughly
reviewed the background readings and understand the key concepts of
job redesign and job crafting. Then think about your own job and
workplace and how these concepts apply to your own work life. Once
you have finished reviewing the background readings and have
carefully thought about how these concepts relate to your own job,
write a 2- to 3-page paper answering the following questions:
1. Of the three main types of job redesign (job enlargement, job
rotation, job enrichment), which one do you think would be the most
effective in your current workplace? Explain your reasoning, and
cite Bauer and Erdogan (2012) or Griffin (2007) as part of your
answer.
2. Suppose your supervisor decides to use job enrichment to
redesign your job. Of the five core job characteristics discussed in
Bauer and Erdogan (2012) or page 9 of Griffin (2007), which one do
3. you think should be changed as part of your job redesign?
4. Which specific job crafting strategy or intervention do you think
would be most effective at your organization or for your specific
job? Refer to one of the specific strategies or interventions discussed
in Wrzesniewski (2014) or Dik and Duffy (2012).
