• Job rotation refers to the movement of an employee from one job to
another. Jobs themselves are not actually changed, only the employee are

Techniques of Job Redesigning
• Job Enlargement
• Job enlargement expands job horizontally. It increases job scope; that is, it
increases the number of different operations required in a job and the
frequency with which the job cycle is repeated. By increasing the number
of tasks an individual performs, job enlargement, increases the job scope,
or job diversity.

• Job Enrichment
• Job enrichment, as it is currently practiced in industry, is a direct
outgrowth of Herzberg's Two Factor Theory of motivation. It is,
therefore, based on the assumption that in order to motivate personnel,
the job itself must provide opportunities for achievement, recognition,
responsibility, advancement and growth.
