Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job enlargement involves allocating a wider range of similar tasks to individuals, which increases the variety of work that they do, without necessarily increasing their level of responsibility or autonomy. This approach aims to increase job satisfaction and motivation by allowing employees to use a wider range of skills, but may not necessarily lead to more empowerment or higher productivity.
