What is the job characteristics theory?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The job characteristics theory, which was initiated during the mid-1960s, is a traditional approach to the design of work that makes a significant departure from the three earlier approaches. It emphasizes the interaction between the individual and specific attributes of the job; therefore, it is a person-job fit model rather than a universal job design model. Please see the section "Traditional Approaches to Job Design" for more information.
