jobs
Historically, concentrated on making jobs more specialized
Job Enlargement - horizontal expansion of job
Job scope - the number of different tasks required in a job
and the frequency with which these tasks are repeated
Provides few challenges, little meaning to workers‟ activities
Only addresses the lack of variety in specialized jobs
Job Enrichment - vertical expansion of job
Job depth - degree of control employees have over their work
Empowers employees to do tasks typically performed by their
managers
Research evidence has been inconclusive about the effect of
job enrichment on performance

work a specific number of hours a week but are free to
vary those hours within certain limits
– system entails common core hours when all employees
are required to be on the job
– starting, ending, and lunch-hour times are flexible

• telecommuting - employees work at home and are
linked to the workplace by computer and modem
