Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job enrichment is the process of improving job content by adding more meaningful tasks, autonomy, and responsibility to a job. In this case, Mathew is explicitly focusing on reducing job dissatisfaction due to repetitive and boring tasks, which is a key aspect of job enrichment. Team building, prosocial motivation, job rotation, and work complication are not directly related to improving job content and reducing boredom or dissatisfaction in a specific job role.
