Autonomy refers to the extent to which the job allows an individual to have control and discretion over how the work is performed. Jessie's job allows her to schedule her work and determine the procedures to be used, indicating a high level of autonomy. Task identity refers to the extent to which the job allows an individual to see the completed work as a whole, task significance refers to the extent to which the job has a significant impact on others, and skill variety refers to the extent to which the job requires a variety of different skills and abilities. None of these dimensions are explicitly mentioned or implied in Jessie's job description, making autonomy the best choice.
