Introduction Job enrichment and employee empowerment go hand in hand. Enrichment means building challenge and achievement into workers' jobs by changing job content, letting them order and inspect their own goods, schedule their own day and so forth.
Empowerment means authorizing and enabling workers to do their jobs.
Enriching jobs should give employees more challenging jobs to do, while empowering employees should give them the skills, authority and discretion to actually perform the enriched jobs. I will be focusing on what exactly job enrichment entails, how a company can implement this type of program into their company and the beneficial results that it is going to provide to the employee, along with the employer. I am going to give some examples of companies that use this type of program and what they think it has done for them. From the last 50 years, a lot of researchers have developed theories of motivation and one of these is Frederick Herzberg. Scientists started asking employees to write about their jobs and when they felt more or less satisfied.
