Changing Jobs (Scenario)
Massoud sat in his favorite chair at home and pondered his work situation. The funding in his division had been cut by 25 percent, but the numerical goals did not budge. Something had to change, and he knew it was his job to figure out how to make the goals reachable. He had decided to try to make it work by changing the way tasks are combined in each job. First, he needed to know how many tasks there were to each job and how frequently each task is repeated. He also knew that because of the funding cut, people were going to be asked to increase their job tasks horizontally. But, he also felt that to balance this he should add planning and evaluating responsibilities. No one looked forward to this coming year-managers or staff-but it was do or die.
-Together, even though the employees were clearly being asked to contribute more, he felt they would have a greater degree of control over their work. _______describes the degree of control the employees will have over their work.
A) Job depth
B) Job design
C) Job enlargement
D) Job enrichment
