Developed as a way of determining which jobs would be more motivating than others, the Job Characteristics Model of Motivation is used to help businesses pinpoint what elements are lacking in the jobs that they offer.

The five elements of the Job Characteristics Model of Motivation include: skill variety, task identify, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. Jobs that possess all--or at least of majority--of these elements typically provide more interesting and satisfying work, which leads to greater performance on the job.

You posted this literally two days before my exam. Your videos are great to listen to the night before the exam for some last minute reinforcing! Much better than reading and re-reading loads of notes you've gone over for weeks and getting overwhelmed. Hearing it out loud like this makes me more confident that I have clarity on on the topics and your presentation is so clear.
Thank you so much!

Just found this channel. I'm studying Managment at Warwick Uni, I'm so glad that I've found this, and that you have a pleasant and articulate voice to listen to. I'll be searching through your channel after this! Thanks!
