- The Job Characteristics Model is the framework that addresses those factors that motivate an employee. The model identifies five core job dimensions, their interrelationships, and their impact on one's work outcomes. These dimensions have been identified while analyzing that job characteristics lead to higher performance. According to the Model, an employee should experience meaningfulness of the job, its responsibility, and know the evaluation of job's stakeholders.
- Three dimensions influence employee's perception of the job meaningfulness. They are skill variety, task identity, and task significance. Skill variety refers to the variety of work activities that require various skills and talents to apply at a particular job. Task identity is the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work. Task significance refers to the job's impact on the lives or work of other people.
- Autonomy is the degree to which a job provides substantial freedom, independence, and discretion to the individual in scheduling work and determining the procedures to be used in carrying it out. The level of autonomy influences employee's perception of the job responsibility.
- As a core job dimension, feedback refers to the scope, promptness, and constructiveness of information about the employee's performance.
- The Model doesn't take into consideration work demands and other work contexts, as well as the degree of employee's control over the task. Finally, the Model doesn't address those factors that demotivate an employee, for instance, the degree of retaliation for possible errors of the employee who has to make time sensitive decisions.
