A job design involves a
number of tasks performed
by a group of workers.
Further, each task consists
of these internal features.
The very nature of
a product
influences the
sequences of jobs,
i.e., work flow.
The tasks involved
in a job need to be
sequenced and
balanced.
Designing of Jobs in
such a way to match
job requirements with
worker’s physical
abilities to perform a
job effectively.
Practice means a set way
of doing work based on
tradition or collective
wishes of workers.
While designing jobs, these
work practices need to be
taken into consideration.

10. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS :
Social & Cultural
Expectations
Employee Ability &
Availability
 Increase in literacy, education, knowledge,
awareness, etc. have raised the expectations from
the jobs.
 It is due to this reason that the job design now is
characterised by the features like work hours, rest
breaks, vacations, religious beliefs, etc.
 Disregarding these social expectations can create
dissatisfaction, low motivation and low quality of
working life”.
 Employee skills, abilities and time of availability play a
crucial role while designing of the jobs.
 Designing a job that is more demanding and above
their skill set will lead to decreased productivity and
employee satisfaction.

11. BEHAVIOURAL FACTORS:
Autonomy Use of Abilities Feedback Variety
Autonomy means freedom
to control one’s
actions/responses to the
environment.
Employees should work in
an open environment rather
than one that contains fear.
It promotes creativity,
independence and leads to
increased efficiency.
Workers perform jobs effectively
that offer them opportunity to
make use of their abilities.
Jobs should be designed in a
manner such that an employee
is able to make full use of his
abilities and perform the job
effectively.
Job design should be
determined in such a way
that workers receive
meaningful feedback
about what they did.
Feedback helps workers
improve their
performance.
Repetitive jobs often
make work
monotonous which
leads to boredom.
A job should carry
sufficient diversity and
variety so that it
remains as interesting
with every passing
day.
