	EMIRE: IRELAND - JOB ENRICHMENT
		Job enrichment or 'vertical enlargement' is a method of job design in which new responsibilities, tasks or skills are added to existing jobs giving employees a greater opportunity for achievement and recognition.
		Job enrichment can apply to individual jobs or to autonomous work groups, but in either case the objective is to give people better freedom and autonomy in their work organisation.
		The advantages of job enrichment are said to include an increase in employees' level of motivation at work, both individually and in groups, a reduced need for supervision, a reduced level of fatigue, absenteeism and labour turnover, and an increase in the level of skill flexibility.

	Job Enrichment
		Job enrichment is a type of job redesign intended to reverse the effects of tasks that are repetitive requiring little autonomy.
		The underlying principle is to expand the scope of the job with a greater variety of tasks, vertical in nature, that require self-sufficiency.
		The basis for job enrichment practices is the work done by Frederick Herzberg in the 1950's and 60's, which was further refined in 1975 by Hackman and Oldham using what they called the Job Characteristics Model.

	Job design and work organization
		The new jobs are often only a marginal improvement in terms of the degree of repetition, the skill demands and the level of responsibility; as a result workers have not always responded positively to such change.
		Job enrichment, then, aims to create greater opportunities for individual achievement and recognition by expanding the task to increase not only variety but also responsibility and accountability.
		Whilst job enrichment is based on a theory resulting from research carried out by Herzberg and his colleagues, the research is not itself without its critics.

	Do More With Less (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Job enrichment is both a concept and a process concerned with changing jobs to make them more meaningful to those who perform them and at the same time to make better use of the worker's knowledge, skills, and ideas.
		Traditionally, when job enrichment advocates have been asked where this concept will help, they have answered, "Anywhere you have problems." It was basically symptomatic approach: look for jobs where worker attitudes are poor as evidenced low productivity, poor-quality work, low morale, disciplinary problems, requests for transfers, and low reenlistment rates.
		Job enrichment can help us to "do more with less," and that is our challenge for the foreseeable future.

		Job enrichment opportunities were initially defined as "formal national development programs, component level programs, or regional level development programs of 1-2 weeks in duration." In February 2004, the indicator was redefined to include any job enrichment opportunity of a 5-day duration or more.
		Prior to the change, job enrichment opportunity was defined to include formal national development programs or experiences (formal career development training of 1 to 2 weeks), a component program, or a regional-level program.
		The title of the performance indicator, "Number of Job Enrichment Opportunities," was inconsistent in the FY 2004 PAR as the Agency was collecting the actual number of job enrichment opportunities that occurred, but reporting the percentage of the workforce that participated in these opportunities.

	MS344i - Week 4
		Job enrichment has been expanded to the job characteristics model, a method of job design that focuses on the task and interpersonal demands of a job.
		Often times burnout is attributed to a mismatch between the nature of the job and the nature of the person holder, in areas such as work overload and lack of rewards.
		According to the job demands-job control model, workers experience the most stress when the demands of the job are high, yet they have little control over the activity.

		The senior government official proceeded with the job enrichment (allegedly with the Minister's approval), the inspectors complained loudly, and the official eventually left the department.) There are two important issues that we should consider before this job enrichment intervention begins.
		The Deputy Minister is assuming that the current jobs need enrichment so that employees will be more motivated by the work, yet there is no evidence that the jobs offer have a low level of motivation.
		Finally, it is important to ensure that employees have the requisite skills and knowledge to master the additional challenges of the proposed enriched job, or that they are capable to learning the necessary skills Q14 The accuracy of this statement depends on the situation.

	Job Enrichment in Extension
		Herzberg postulates that by enriching a job the individual increases his or her job satisfaction and thus positive motivation.
		Job enrichment was viewed as a way to assist mid-career employees who had reached a plateau by offering new challenges.
		Also, because of downsizing, it was felt this approach could allow some critical job functions to be performed on an ad-hoc basis until an appropriate decision could be made about staffing a position for the future.

	EMIRE: NETHERLANDS - JOB ENLARGEMENT/ENRICHMENT
		In the case of job enlargement these are tasks of the same qualitative level, whereas job enrichment brings an improvement in the content of the work through the incorporation in the job of tasks of a higher qualitative level, such as elements of planning, control and preparation.
		From the employer's point of view, the purpose of both job enlargement and job enrichment (also referred to as taakverruiming) is to improve the quality of work as a way, for example, of increasing motivation, productivity and flexibility of production.
		The disadvantages are that job enrichment may lead to greater work pressure and that employees have to start performing tasks which were not originally required of them.
