chapter 2-job satisfaction

job rotation- involves workers swapping round and doing each specific task for a limited amount of time and then changing round again.

workers on a production line may carry out simple but different tasks.Job rotation involves the workers swapping round and doing each specific task for only a limited time(for example,for one hour) and then changing round again.this increases the variety in the work itself and also makes it easier for the managers to move workers around the factory if people are ill and their jobs need covering, however it does not make the tasks themselves more interesting.

Job enlargement is where extra tasks of a similar level of work are added to a workers job description. the extra tasks should not add extra work or increased responsibility to the employee,but they should give greater variety to the work and therefore increase job satisfaction.
