I think job enlargement might just overwhelm the remaining staff.

Job rotation could actually keep things interesting, right?

Wait, are we really saying job enrichment is a no-go? That sounds off.

Totally agree, it would just make things more monotonous.

Job standardisation seems like a bad idea right now.

I have a vague memory that job enlargement could also lead to burnout, so maybe that one isn't ideal for motivation either?

We practiced a similar question about motivation techniques, and I think job rotation was seen as a positive way to keep things interesting.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like job standardisation might not be the best choice here since it could limit creativity.

I remember discussing job enrichment and how it can actually motivate employees, so I think that one should be safe.

Okay, I think I've got it. If the company wants to keep staff motivated with limited promotions, they should avoid techniques that reduce job variety and challenge. Job standardization seems like the way to go here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know job enrichment and job enlargement are ways to motivate employees, but I'm not sure about the differences between them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about motivational techniques. I'll start by considering which of the options would be least effective in keeping staff motivated if there are limited promotion opportunities.

Job standardization? Really? That seems like the obvious answer to me. Standardizing jobs would reduce autonomy and opportunities for growth, which is the opposite of what the company needs to keep people motivated.

Well, if they're going for the 'less is more' approach, job standardization is the way to go. Might as well make it as painless as possible, right?

Job enrichment is the way to go, folks. Give them more responsibilities and challenges to keep them engaged. Just don't overdo it, or they might start looking for an escape hatch.
