Module 3 – SLP
JOB REDESIGN
As with the Case Assignment, make sure you have thoroughly
reviewed the background readings and understand the key concepts of job
redesign and job crafting. Then think about your own job and workplace and how
these concepts apply to your own work life. Once you have finished reviewing
the background readings and have carefully thought about how these concepts
relate to your own job, write a 2- to 3-page paper answering the following
questions:
Of the three main types of job redesign (job enlargement,
job rotation, job enrichment), which one do you think would be the most
effective in your current workplace? Explain your reasoning, and cite Bauer and
Erdogan (2012) or Griffin (2007) as part of your answer.
Suppose your supervisor decides to use job enrichment to
redesign your job. Of the five core job characteristics discussed in Bauer and
Erdogan (2012) or page 9 of Griffin (2007), which one do you think should be
changed as part of your job redesign?
Which specific job crafting strategy or intervention do you
think would be most effective at your organization or for your specific job?
Refer to one of the specific strategies or interventions discussed in
Wrzesniewski (2014) or Dik and Duffy (2012).
SLP Assignment Expectations
Answer the assignment questions directly in 3 to 4 written
pages.
Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go
off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background
materials.
Make sure to use reliable and credible sources as your
references. Articles published in established newspapers or business
journals/magazines are preferred. If you use articles from the Internet, make sure
they are from credible sources.
Reference your sources of information with both a
bibliography and in-text citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a
High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 13 and 14 on in-text citations.
Another resource is the “Writing Style Guide,” which is found under My
Resources in the TLC portal.
