Job Enlargement

Job enlargement is an organizational design strategy and academic concept focusing on expanding an employee's role by adding more tasks of a similar nature and complexity. This concept investigates the impact of horizontal job expansion on employee motivation, satisfaction, and operational outcomes, serving as an alternative to excessive job specialization by increasing task variety at the same skill and responsibility level.
