They had now sat through four days of management training, but so far, with all of the fancy theories, they had not received any specific guidance in this area. Finally, on the last day of the training, they learned about the job characteristics model.

-The model also suggests that ________will increase employee "ownership" of the work and help them view their work as meaningful.

According to the job characteristics model, creating natural work units is one of the specific steps that can help improve the core job dimensions. This involves organizing tasks into larger, meaningful units instead of just completing isolated, individual tasks. By doing so, employees will have a greater sense of ownership and view their work as more meaningful.
