Michele's job as an accounting assistant was recently modified to include reconciling bank accounts and making deposits, two tasks previously done by the accounting manager. This increase in responsibility would best be described as
A. job development.
B. job enlargement.
C. job satisficing.
D. job enrichment.
E. job design.
D. job enrichment.
Instead of the job-enlargement technique of simply giving employees additional tasks of similar difficulty (known as horizontal loading), with job enrichment employees are given more responsibility (known as vertical loading). Thus, Michele is taking on tasks formerly performed by her supervisor.
