Answer to Question #189088 in Management for SARAH MARIS MERIN

Question

How does the job characteristics model motivate individuals?

Answer 1

By focusing on enlarging jobs, they help provide greater employee responsibility. This helps employees achieve self-actualization, growth, personal achievement, and increased motivation. This lowers the chances of high turnover or absenteeism. The Job Characteristics Model enables you to improve employee performance and job satisfaction by means of adjusting the job itself. The model states that if you do this successfully you can create the conditions for an employee to thrive in their role and the employee will be motivated, perform to a high level, and be satisfied by their role.
