HRPA CHRP-KE Exam - Topic 4 Question 16 Discussion
Topic #: 4
Which of the following is most likely to add more tasks to a job?
Within HRPA's Job Design content, job enlargement is defined as the horizontal expansion of a job---adding a greater number and variety of tasks at the same level of responsibility. By contrast, job enrichment increases depth (autonomy, responsibility, decision authority), job sharing divides one full-time job between two people, and job grading/classification groups jobs into classes for pay structure purposes rather than changing task content.
