Motivating Employees Toolkit: Designing Motivational Jobs

Welcome to “Motivating Employees Toolkit: Designing Motivational Jobs,” a video lesson that explains how managers can design jobs that are motivating—rather than frustrating. This lesson is part of the “Motivating Employees Toolkit,” which is designed to help leaders motivate their people to become high performing and achieve success at work. From this lesson, leaders will learn how things like scientific management, job enlargement, and empowerment can be used to make jobs more or less satisfying and, therefore, more or less motivating. By completing this lesson, managers will learn the right way to leverage these design techniques to motivate their employees. (Keywords: job enrichment, job specialization, job rotation)
