core job characteristics The five characteristics that have been identified by
job characteristics theory as inducing the critical psychological states required for
motivation at work: •
skill variety – the degree to which the job includes different activities drawing on several skills and abilities; •
task identity – the extent to which a person is able to complete a task from start to finish; •
task significance – the degree to which a person carrying out a task perceives it to be important to the organization and its clients; •
autonomy – the degree to which a person has discretion as to how and when the task will be done; •
feedback – the extent to which the person receives feedback on the quality of performance from the task itself. These core job characteristics are important to the psychological well-being of the individual. If they are lacking, then
job satisfaction (and hence motivation) may well suffer unless a programme of
job enlargement or
job enrichment is instituted.
