Question

The job characteristics model describes any job in terms of five core job dimensions, and these five dimensions are skill variety, task significance, recognition, reward, and feedback.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A theory based on the idea that a task itself is the key to motivation for employees is known as the  Job Characteristics Model. In different terms, a bored and monotonous job is destructive for an employee whereas if a job is challenging, it will have a positive effect on employee's motivation. This work design began in the 60s with an aim to reconstruct tasks and responsibilities to make workers more motivated.

Though there are a total of five job characteristics they are not the given options i.e, "skill variety, task significance, recognition, reward, and feedback". The five job characteristics include skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
