- 4. Job Redesign
Job rotation involves systematically
moving employees from one job to another.
Job enlargement was developed to increase
the total number of tasks workers perform
based on the assumption that doing the same
basic task over and over is the primary cause
of worker dissatisfaction.
Job enrichment attempts to increase both
the number of tasks a worker does and the
control the worker has over the job.
