Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Task identity is the extent to which the job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work, meaning that JCM's job redesign aligns with this core dimension of the job characteristics model. Skill variety refers to the degree to which the job requires a variety of different activities, autonomy measures the level of discretion and decision-making power given to the employee, and task completion is not a core dimension of the job characteristics model.
