Job Redesign is an effort where job responsibilities and tasks are reviewed and possibly reallocated among staff. Redesigning jobs can lead to improvements in both productivity and
job satisfaction. Hence, concepts of job design can be used to both make positions more
efficient and effective as well as being more rewarding for employees in any organization.
To
better understand some of the job design concepts, you are requested to read the following
articles that has been posted:

satisfaction by addressing the following questions. Your answers must reflect your personal

removed, shared, or refocused.
4. Describe the major advantages that this redesign provides for both employees and the
organization.
5. Identify any problems or issues that may arise during this redesign process. Can they
