Question

What steps can organizations take to improve promotion satisfaction, supervision satisfaction, and coworker satisfaction?

Consider the five core job characteristics (variety, identity, significance, autonomy, and feedback). Do you think that any one of those characteristics is more important than the other four? Is it possible to have too much of some job characteristics?

Answer 1

promotion satisfaction, supervision satisfaction and co worker satisfaction are the three major goals of any organization. without achieving these goals, no organization can sustain itself in the industry. organization can take various steps to improve these three major goals such as

1. to improve the promotion satisfaction, organization should set definite guidelines about promotion criteria so that employees can follow those guidelines to get the promotion. organization should offer fair promotion policies to enhance promotion satisfaction.

2. to improve supervision satisfaction, organization should provide the necessary training to their supervisors so that they can perform their best at their job and can deal with their employees effectively.  

3. to improve the co worker satisfaction, there should be the proper communication between co workers so that organization should be faciliated trainings and meetings with the co workers in the workshop in order to communicate with each other effectively. organization should offer opportunities for their coworker to socialize in order to achieve coworker satisfaction.

out of five core job characterstics that are variety, identity, significance, autonomy and feedback identity of task is more important than other four characterstics because it is the measurement of how much an employee thinks that the job is important. it is the overall extent to which a job is done from its initial point to its final point. it is the extent to which outcome is to be predicted. task identity allows the worker to experience the job meaningfully as they are the part of entire process.

it is quite possible to have too much of some job characterstics.

for example, consider variety which can be defined as the number of skills and talents which should be in the employees who is going to perform that job. but sometime there are the situations when employees becomes at their job and there is excessive variety which could prevent that.
