            Principles are the bases of the approach used in job design. Robertson and Smith<\/strong> (1985) have suggested the following five principles of job design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. To influence skill variety, provide opportunities for people to do several tasks and combine tasks.<\/li>
  2. To influence task identity, combine tasks and from natural work units.<\/li>
  3. To influence task significance, form natural work units and inform people of the importance of their work.<\/li>
  4. To influence autonomy, give people responsibility for determining their own working systems.<\/li>
  5. To influence feedback; establish good relationship and open feedback channels.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Methods or Techniques of Job Design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The various techniques of job design and redesign are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1.Job Simplification:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In job simplification, the complete job is broken down into small sub parts; this is done so that employee can do these jobs without much specialized training. For job simplification, generally time and motion studies are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.Job Rotation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Another technique designed to enhance employee motivation is job rotation, or periodically assigning employees to alternating jobs or tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3.Job Enlargement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Another means of increasing employee\u2019s satisfaction with routine jobs is increasing the number of tasks performed (i.e. increasing the scope of the job). This is called job enlargement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4.Job Enrichment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The concept of job enrichment has been derived from Herzberg\u2019s two- factor theory of motivation in which he has suggested that job content is one of the basic factors of motivation. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                According to P. Robbins<\/strong>, \u201cJob enrichment refers to the vertical expansion of the jobs. It increases the degree to which the worker controls the planning, execution and evaluation of his work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
