JOB DESIGN METHOD & TECHNIQUE

AsAsalam ulikom)) their are some job design method/technique .

Job Simplification

In the job simplification technique, the job is simplified or specialized. A given job is divided into small sub-parts and each part is assigned to one individual employee. Job simplification is introduced when job designers feel that the jobs are not specialized enough. Work simplification is done so that less-trained and the less paid employees can do these jobs.

This method has limitations. Over simplification results in boredom which lead in turn to errors.

Job Rotation 

Moving employees from one job to another. Job rotation involves shifting a person from one job to another, so that he is able to understand and learn what each job involves.

With job rotation, an employee is given an opportunity to perform different jobs, which enriches his skills, experience and ability to perform different jobs. It is the process of preparing employees at a lower level to replace someone at the next higher level. It reduced boredom. By this they can also learn new things, new techniques, and new ways of doing better work. It may also happen that over a period of time they will be finding a job for which they are better suitable. They can also contribute in a better way to achieve the goals of the organization.

Job Enlargement

 

It is the process of increasing the scope of a job by adding more tasks to it which is similar in nature. The related tasks are combined. Job enlargement involves expanding the number of tasks or duties assigned to a given job. Job enlargement therefore, naturally is opposite to work simplification. Adding more tasks/ duties to a job does not mean that new skill and abilities are needed to perform it. There is only a horizontal expansion.

Job enlargement reduces monotony and boredom. It helps to increase interest in work and efficiency. But there is no time increase of the job. Enlarged jobs require longer training period as there are more task to be learned.

Job enrichment 

 Job enrichment is a term given by Fedric herzberg. According to him a few motivators are added to a job to make it more rewarding, challenging and interesting. According to herzberg the motivating factors enrich the job and improve performance.

In other words we can say that job enrichment is a method of adding some motivating factors to an existing job to make it more interesting.
