1. Obtain the job description for your current or most recent job (prepare one yourself if

one does not exist). Redo this description by using the job characteristics framework

presented in Exhibit 6.2. Design a job that would be more interesting, challenging, and

enjoyable for you.

In my past employment, I was working as an associate in the Venture Capital. Without

fancy job description, my work literally determines which projects make to the next step and

which project should be screened out (really similar to the HR job, but the target is prospect

the organization; (4) autonomy, the extent to which the employee is able to work and determine

work procedures at her or his own discretion, free of supervision; and (5) feedback, the extent to

which the work allows the employee to gain a sense of how well job responsibilities are being

met. The model argues that work systems can be designed to enhance motivation, performance,

without any distraction. I do believe by focusing on your core value, you will achieve more

accomplishment compared to the skill variety as model described. However, for the rest of the 4
