Job Analysis in a “Jobless” World

From specialized to enlarged


jobs
Managers are “de-jobbing”
their companies
Specialized to Enlarged Jobs

Job Enlargement: assigning workers additional


same-level activities, thus increasing the number
of activities they perform. (instead of just one lousy job, I
have two)
Job Rotation: systematically moving workers from
one job to another to enhance work team
performance &/or broaden his experience &
identify strong & weak points.
Job Enrichment: redesigning jobs in a way that
increases the opportunities for the worker to feel
responsible, growth & recognition (by planning
and controlling his work)
De-Jobbing

company’s jobs, and encouraging employees not to
limit themselves to what’s on their job descriptions
- is a result of the changes taking place in business
today.
