Job characteristic model's five basic features

(HR framework) 1. Skill variety (employees able to use different skills at different steps of the production process. 2. Task identity (tasks are designed so employees can identify with them). 3. Task significance (The importance of the work in larger context must be conveyed to the employees, for example a positive effect on climate change). 4. Autonomy (The work by the employee is designed by herself and no one else, she decides where and when to solve the task). 5.
