Job characteristics model

Job characteristics model is developed by J. Richard Hackman and Greg Oldham, the job characteristics model says that we can describe any job in terms of five core job dimensions:
1. skill variety: the degree to which a job requires a variety of different activities.
2. task identity: the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.
3. task significance: the degree to which a job has a substantial impact on the lives or work of other people
4. autonomy: the degree to which a job provides substantial freedom and discretion to the individual in scheduling the work and in determining the procedures to be used in carrying it out.
5. feedback. the degree to which carrying out the work activities required by a job results in the individual obtaining direct and clear information about the effectiveness of his or her performance.
