What Is Job Enrichment?
Job enrichment is a job design tool that expands an employee in terms of duties, independent decision-making and responsibility to enhance motivation and job satisfaction. Compared to job enlargement that involves more work, job enrichment expands the job by giving the worker more significant and demanding work.
It improves the skill variety, accountability, and ownership, which stimulates employees to become more initiative-driven and professionally developed. Job enrichment enables organizations to increase engagement, lower turnover, and establish more empowered employees with the ability to perform at greater levels.
