Which model focuses on enriching jobs to provide more feedback and autonomy?

The Job Characteristics Model is designed to enhance job satisfaction and motivation by focusing on five core dimensions of a job: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. This model argues that jobs can be enriched by increasing these dimensions, leading to a more satisfying work experience for employees. By promoting autonomy, for instance, employees have more control and can make meaningful choices in their work, which enhances intrinsic motivation. Similarly, providing more feedback allows employees to better understand their performance and the importance of their contributions.

In contrast, the other models focus on different aspects of job design. The Job Rotation Model involves regularly moving employees between different jobs to prevent monotony and help them develop a broad range of skills, rather than specifically enhancing feedback and autonomy. The Job Simplification Model emphasizes reducing the complexity of jobs to improve efficiency and productivity, often by standardizing tasks, which can limit feedback and autonomy. The Job Auditing Model generally refers to reviewing and assessing job designs to ensure compliance or efficiency but is not specifically aimed at enriching jobs or enhancing employee feedback and autonomy.
