JOB DESIGN
 Job design is an attempt to create a match
between job requirements and human
attributes.
 Milkovich and Boudreau defined job design
as, “Job design integrates work content
(tasks, functions, and relationships), the
rewards (extrinsic and intrinsic) and the
qualifications required (skills, knowledge,
abilities) for each job in a way that meets the
needs of employees and the organization”.
Methods of Job Design
A) Job Simplification:
In it, the complete job is broken down into
small subparts; this is done so that
employee can do these jobs without
much specialized training
B) Job Rotation:
Another technique designed to enhance
employee motivation is job rotation, or
periodically assigning employees to
alternating jobs or tasks.
C) Job Enlargement:
Increasing employee’s satisfaction with routine jobs
is job enlargement, or increasing the number of
tasks performed (i.e. increasing the scope of the
job).
D) Job Enrichment:
If the job is designed in such a manner that it
becomes more interesting and challenging to the
job performer and provides him opportunities for
achievement, recognition, responsibility,
advancement and growth, the job itself becomes a
source of motivation to the individual
