• Job Enlargement 
• Job enlargement expands job horizontally. It increases job scope; that is, it 
increases the number of different operations required in a job and the 
frequency with which the job cycle is repeated. By increasing the number 
of tasks an individual performs, job enlargement, increases the job scope, 
or job diversity.

• Job Enrichment 
• Job enrichment, as it is currently practiced in industry, is a direct 
outgrowth of Herzberg's Two Factor Theory of motivation. It is, 
therefore, based on the assumption that in order to motivate personnel, 
the job itself must provide opportunities for achievement, recognition, 
responsibility, advancement and growth.
