The document discusses four methods of job design: job simplification, job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment. Job simplification breaks jobs into repetitive tasks for efficiency. Job rotation periodically shifts employees between similar jobs to prevent boredom. Job enlargement expands jobs horizontally by adding more tasks without new skills. Job enrichment expands jobs vertically by giving employees more autonomy, responsibility, and motivation through challenging work.
