Self-Report Personality Inventories[edit]

Self-Report Personality Inventories-

Personality assessment tests that include questions dealing with situations, symptoms, and feelings. Test-takers-are asked to indicate how well each item describes themselves or how much they agree with each item.

Honesty of response may be the major problem with the Self Report Personality tests. Test questions are often transparent, and people can usually figure out how to respond to make themselves appear to possess whatever qualities they think the organization wants.

Job Enrichment[edit]

Definition

Job enrichment is defined as a way to motivate employees by giving them more responsibilities and variety in their jobs. The idea was first developed by American psychologist Frederick Herzberg in the 1950s and states that a well enriched job should contain a range of tasks and challenges of varying difficulties, meaningful tasks, and feedback, encouragement, and communication. While money is one way to motivate employees more and more workers want to be appreciated for the work they do. Allowing employees to have more control over their work taps into their natural desire to succeed.

How To increasing job satisfaction and performance is done by decreasing job dissatisfaction, caused by wages and working environment, and increasing opportunities for growth, responsibility and recognition for achievement. By rewarding employees you are showing them that their work matters and that you are taking note. Asking for employee input is the best way to begin implementing job enrichment techniques. Since these techniques do not work for everyone it is important that you provide workers with enrichment techniques that will be beneficial to both you and them.
