04 Job and Work Design
Question
What should be considered when designing or redesigning jobs?
- Work arrangements:
- Hours
- Setting (office vs. home; face-to-face vs. virtual collaboration) -> Personal preferences and situation at home + commute
- Physical environment (light, air, noise, distractions) -> music in general bad, air quality important, too many or too little light important
- Breaks
- Job rotation (different jobs/departments)
- Job enlargement (more roles and tasks, horizontal enlargements, same level and periphery)
- Job enrichment (vertical enlargements, less supervisors, more authority, independece and control)
- Beneficiary contact (interactions with people that gain from their jobs)
- Social embeddedness (social community at work, work events)
- Assigning and ordering of different tasks
