Wrapping Blocks: A Fun Way to Teach Job Design
Yanson, Regina; Mann, Melissa J.
Management Teaching Review, v5 n2 p144-162 Jun 2020
This article provides an overview of job design and offers an experiential teaching exercise to help students develop a better comprehension of job design and redesign, as well as learn the importance and challenges of such undertakings. Understanding the core elements of job design is especially important because job design serves as the foundational block for a deeper understanding and application of other organizational phenomenon such as the job characteristics model. This exercise is intended for the introductory undergraduate and graduate-level human resource management course as well as any courses covering "staffing." Additionally, this activity may be used in the undergraduate Principles of Management or associated introductory management class.
