Job Enrichment
Book chapter, 2015
This article defines job enrichment as being where jobs are extended vertically rather than horizontally, meaning that more satisfying jobs are created by adding work of a different level instead of merely increasing the amount of work carried out. Tasks of greater complexity can be undertaken or further responsibilitiescan be assigned such as production planning, material ordering, quality control, or maintenance.
