Question

Increasing the number and variety of tasks assigned to a job is called _________.

• A. Job rotation
• B. Job enlargement
• C. Job enrichment
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B Job enlargement

Job enlargement is the increase in the number of tasks associated with a job i.e., increasing the scope of responsibilities and duties. The increase here is quantitative and not qualitative and at the same level. It ensures flexibility in work and reduces the monotony of work overtime. It is a horizontal concept

Job enrichment is a qualitative concept and refers to an increase in the quality of the job so that employees are more satisfied.

Job rotation is shifting the employees from one position to another to break the monotony of work.

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
