How to design jobs to enhance satisfaction and motivation: Job
Characteristics Model
Each module’s Discussion Forum in this class has two topics –
one for the first week and another for the second.
In the Module 1 Discussion Forum be sure to post your responses
using the background material, including the reading and video on the Job
Characteristics Model. Here is a shorter synopsis of that material:
Louis, D.J. (2016) Notes on the Job Characteristics Model.
In week one, consider a job you have held that you did NOT find
motivating. What job characteristics were missing? Look at another student’s
post and suggest some ways that a manager could redesign that job to enhance
one or more job characteristics and increase the motivating properties of that
job. When someone has posted to your original job characteristics, go back and
comment on whether or not the suggested changes would have made you feel more
motivated. Why or why not?
Remember, after you submit your answer to the Discussion this
week, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
(In total for this module’s two-part Discussion Forum you should
have contributed to at least two Discussion Question posts and four response
posts to your classmates.)
You MUST participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussions to
get credit for this module’s Discussion Forum.
Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for
leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in
meaningful and mutual discussions with others.
Week 2 How to design jobs to enhance satisfaction and
motivation: Job Characteristics Model
Read the following: Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory.
http://www.netmba.com/mgmt/ob/motivation/herzberg/
Herzberg’s Theory suggests that pay and benefits are not
motivators, because they do not satisfy the worker (who doesn’t want more pay
or vacation time?). However, they can cause dissatisfaction if not sufficient.
Critically compare and contrast his theory to the Job Characteristics Model.
For example: What factors leading to satisfaction (motivators) can be aligned
with Job Characteristics or Critical Psychological States? Do you think any of
Herzberg’s dis-satisfiers (hygiene factors) align with Job Characteristics or
Critical Psychological States? Does this mean one or both of these theories is
wrong?
