What aspect of job design does job enrichment specifically target?

Job enrichment specifically targets enhancing task variety and employee autonomy. This approach aims to improve employee satisfaction and motivation by adding meaningful aspects to their work, allowing them to take greater control over how they execute their tasks. By incorporating more diverse responsibilities and encouraging employees to engage in decision-making processes, job enrichment leads to a more fulfilling work experience.

In contrast, increasing the workload without raising pay is more aligned with potential job dissatisfaction rather than enrichment. Creating isolated job functions tends to minimize interaction and collaboration, which can decrease job satisfaction and engagement. Standardizing work processes focuses on uniformity and efficiency, which may not contribute to the sense of personal growth and empowerment that job enrichment aims to provide.
