effectiveness. So it studies the impact of different levels on behaviour, and how
to improve performance.

that will lead to organizational success. Management of work and people towards

better performance on multiple measures (= internal fit). Each practice will
enhance another.
1. Bundle of practices to enhance empowerment: responsibility, self-
management teams, increasing autonomy, shared decision making
2. To enhance motivation: goal setting, performance feedback, career planning
3. To enhance skills: staffing, training
