Behavioral approach for job design

Question

Explain behavioral approach for job design.

Answer 1

Job characteristics model of Hackman and Oldham is the most accepted behavioral approach to job redesign. Behavioral approach is based on the hypothesis that three main psychological stats of a worker decide his performance, motivation and satisfaction on the job.

Behavioral approach to job design is an approach that is more of socio-technical as it mull over both the social aspects and technical of a job. It is better than classical approach as classical approach only considers technical side of job.
