Best Answer

Hackman and Oldham (1975) broke "The job itself" into five dimensions. They say that any given job can be analyzed, utilizing these five dimensions for its motivating potential. The job can then be redesigned to eliminate what is bothering the workers. Listed below are the five dimensions of motivating potential:

Skill variety

- Doing different things; using different valued skills, abilities, and talents.

- The degree to which a job requires a variety of challenging skills and abilities.

Task identity

- Doing a complete job from beginning to end, the whole job rather than bits and pieces.

- The degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.

Task significance

- The degree of meaningful impact the job has on others; the importance of the job.

- The degree to which the job has a perceivable impact on the lives of others, either within the organization or the world at large.

Autonomy

- Freedom to do the work as one sees fit; discretion in scheduling, decision-making, and means for accomplishing a job.

- The degree to which the job gives the worker freedom and independence in scheduling work and determining how the work will be carried out.

What is the history of Richard Dixon Oldham?

Richard Dixon Oldham FRS (31 July 1858 - 15 July 1936) was a British geologist who made the first clear identification of the separate arrivals of P-waves, S-waves and surface waves on seismograms and the first clear evidence that the Earth has a central core.


How do scientists know that their is a red hot coar in the center of earth?

A man named Richard Dixon Oldham discovered that the earth has a core. He determined this by studying the propagation of seismic waves from earthquakes. He hypothesized that the seismic waves had an origin, which he believed came from the center of the earth from a molten core.

Do astronaut need compass?

Sure, astronauts use compasses frequently, but on the Earth ground, not in space. Compasses only work in two dimensions on a surface like Earth's, where there is a significant body of iron in the celestial body's core. Then only if the core is magnetiized, which it would most likely be, due to the spin of the celestial body. Astronauts in space are in 3 dimensions, and in space there is no iron core to be magnetized. Compasses are useless in space, assuming they are far enough away from Earth to not pick up Earth's magnetic flux lines.


Which has not been proposed as a mechanism of plate motions?

The idea that plate motions are caused by electromagnetic forces has not been widely proposed as a mechanism of plate motions. The most accepted mechanism is the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that plate motions result from the movement of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Other proposed mechanisms include ridge push, slab pull, and mantle plumes.
