Mini project and discussion

MINI PROJECT 2

The focus for this project is on designing jobs so that they more fully elicit intrinsic motivation.

The reading introduces a Job Characteristics Model that includes five important job characteristics that are linked to intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction. Watch video titled “Characteristic of Job Design” in which I describe my job as a manager. (This video can be found under Resources as a separate item.) As you watch the video listen for examples of the five job characteristics (you may have to watch the video a couple of times to catch them all).

Complete the following Job Characteristics Matrix with examples of each of the job characteristics from the video. Even though this is a matrix, make sure that your examples are detailed.

For each of the five Job Dimensions, complete the following matrix:

1. Provide a brief description of each Job Dimension

2. Describe specific examples of each Job Dimension from the video
