Job enlargement involves adding more tasks and responsibilities to a job to increase the amount of work to be done. In this scenario, Willie's boss found more tasks to add to his job, indicating that his job was enlarged. Job rotation involves moving employees through different positions to gain skills and knowledge. Job enrichment involves giving employees more autonomy and decision-making power in their current job. Work teams involve a group of employees working together to accomplish a common goal. None of these options fit the scenario as closely as job enlargement.
