Describe how cultural variations in job design motivate.
What will be an ideal response?
The development of individualist job design approaches in the United States, autonomous work
groups in northern Europe, and quality circles in Japan are congruent with the value orientations of the
three regions. The development of work characteristics that are consistent with the motivational
requirements of different cultures is not coincidental. Therefore, the choice of job design might be best
informed by cultural dimensions that relate to the way in which the characteristics of the job fulfill
culturally based expectations of what work is about.
