▪ Thinking and doing is separated, less authority and autonomy
▪ Leads to reskilling and upgrading

o Management: optimal production through scientific methods
- Job characteristics model:
Five core job characteristics that are
key for employees to excel at their
jobs
Karasek: job demands and control model

- Job control: related to skill or authority to
make decisions
o High control: high degree of
freedom of employees to organize
or plan work
- Model:
o Passive job
▪ Simple work: Taylor
o Low strain job
▪ Relaxed work: over investment job with lot of training but simple and not
stressful
o High strain job
▪ Stressful work: high workload, stress and deadlines
o Active job
▪ Challenging work → high pressure =/= stress when high control
