Module 3 discussion
Job Design and Job Crafting Surveys
For this discussion, you will be filling out some surveys
based on the concepts of job redesign and job crafting. The job design survey
is pretty simple, self-explanatory, and follows the five core job dimensions
discussed in the background readings: http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/jobsurvey.html
The job crafting survey appears in a complicated article,
but the survey is relatively straightforward and appears on page 177 of the
article linked below. For each question, a “5” indicates strong agreement, a
“4” means moderate agreement, a “3” means neutral, a “2” means mild
disagreement, and a “1” means strong disagreement. There are four dimensions of
job crafting on this survey. All of these dimensions have five questions, with
the exception of “decreasing hindering job demands,” which has six questions.
The total possible score on each dimension is either 25 or 30, depending on the
number of questions:

Report your scores on both surveys to your classmates and
explain whether or not the results accurately describe your current job
situation and the overall usefulness of each survey.
Also, discuss any practical implications that the results of
each survey has on your organization. Do the results indicate that any specific
job redesign or job crafting intervention should be done? Would you recommend
either survey be used for a wider range of employees at your organization to assist
in deciding on a job redesign or job crafting strategy?
