Hackman and Oldham: Job Characteristics Model of Motivation

The video explores Hackman and Oldham's model of motivation, which is based on three key factors: meaning, autonomy, and feedback. Meaning is derived from identity, variety, and significance of work. Autonomy involves responsibility and decision-making freedom. Feedback, both external and self-assessed, enhances motivation. The model suggests that higher motivating potential leads to better performance and job satisfaction. Managers can apply this model by structuring jobs to enhance these factors, thereby improving employee motivation and reducing turnover.
