, WOJD lecture 1: Work Design from an Organizational Behavior perspective

‘Work is defined as an activity in which a person exerts physical and mental effort to accomplish a
given set of task or perform a duty.’ (Groover, 2014)
⮚ Task or duty has some useful objective;
⮚ Worker applies skills and knowledge for successful completion;
⮚ The activity has commercial value;
⮚ The worker is compensated.

‘Work design describes how jobs, tasks and roles are structured, enacted, and modified as well as the
impact of these structures, enactments, and modifications on individual, group and organizational
outcomes.’ (Grant & Parker, 2009)

Most of the work design research started in the 70’s and 80’s, you can see this graph!

, ⮚ Still widely applied

2. Job characteristics theory: (1939 – present)

Herzberg’s two-factor Theory:
⮚ Two factors that influence performance
o Hygiene factors
▪ Company policies, interpersonal relations, supervision, salary, working
conditions. Otherwise you’ll see dissatisfaction.
o Motivator factors
▪ Achievement, advancement, nature of work, recognition, responsibility.
Then you’ll have satisfaction.
⮚ Job enrichment and enlargement
⮚ Mixed empirical evidence
o No differences hygiene and motivator factors
o Limited support job satisfaction

McGregor Theory X and Theory Y
⮚ Two assumptions about people
o Theory X
▪ Indolent, passive, irresponsible
● Avoid initiative and responsibility
● Constant need for direction
● Motivated by economic rewards
▪ Perform to meet expectations
o Theory Y
▪ Motivated and satisfied
● Seek initiative and responsibility
● Self-control and self-direction
● Self-motivated to complete tasks
▪ Perform beyond expectations
