This question contains two parts; be sure to answer both. First, define job enlargement. Next, imagine that you are the front-end manager of a supermarket. You manage all the cashiers, baggers, and the customer-service desk. Recognizing that each of these jobs is repetitive without much variety, you want to enlarge each job to increase employee engagement and satisfaction. How might you enlarge the jobs you manage?
What will be an ideal response?
Job enlargement consists of building into a job such motivating factors as responsibility, achievement, recognition, stimulating work, and advancement. Instead of simply giving employees additional tasks of similar difficulty (known as horizontal loading), with job enrichment employees are given more responsibility (vertical loading).
Students should offer several suggestions for enlarging the jobs of baggers, cashiers, and customer-service desk clerks.
