Question

Clean N Green is a two-year-old company that makes wind turbines. The business owner, Janelle, is struggling to compete. Finding enough employees who know how to do the work has been difficult, and Janelle believes that her labor costs are too high because she cannot afford to match the prices of her nearest competitors. To help with these problems, Janelle hires a new HR manager, Dylan. Dylan recommends they start by bringing in an industrial engineer. How is this approach to job design most likely to help Clean N Green?

Answer 1

By simplifying work and increasing output per worker is this approach to job design most likely to help Clean N Green

Explanation:

Job design is the organisation of work into the tasks necessary to perform a certain task. Job design includes conscious efforts to organise tasks, assignments and duties into some kind of unit of work to reach certain goals.

It is achieved by facilitating specialisation across simplified work, which in turn increases efficiency.

Due to the fact that job simplification makes employment routine, monotonous and boring, workers are eventually disliking the job, thereby increasing absenteeism and turnover.
