Job Enrichment:

The deliberate restructuring of a job to make it more challenging, meaningful and interesting is referred to as job enrichment. The individual is provided with an opportunity to derive greater achievement, recognition, responsibility and personal growth in performing the job.

Job enrichment is vertical expansion of jobs so that employees take on additional responsibilities to plan, execute and inspect their work. Successful job enrichment also increases freedom and independence of employees, organize tasks so as to allow workers to do a complete activity and provide feedback so that individuals can be able to correct their own performance. A successful job enrichment program should ideally increase employee satisfaction but organizations do not exist to create employee satisfaction as an end, there must be also direct benefits to the organization.
