Job Enlargement and Job Enrichment Job enlargement means expanding the job –content – adding task
elements horizontally. Job enrichment means that additional motivators
are added to the job so that it is more rewarding. The purpose of job
enlargement and job enrichment is to relieve the boredom of the worker,
which flows from excessive specialization in mass- production industries
so that the job itself may be source of self-satisfaction. Job enlargement
and job enrichment do provide for worker’s participation because they
offer freedom and scope to them to use their judgment.
