Abstract

There can be no organizational innovation not tied to productivity. Orthodox job enrichment(OJE) restructures individual jobs by emphasizing client relationship and worker productivity. In examples from over 100 JE projects in the Air Force Logistics Command, which affected more than 10,000 workers, the benefits of focusing job enrichment on the work itself are clear.
