Conversely, JCM is more focused on increasing<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">performance through intrinsic motivation (George &amp; Jones, 2012). When employees are<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">intrinsically motivated, they contribute inputs to their jobs because they enjoy the work<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">itself.<\/span><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"> <\/span><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Scientific management restricts skill variety, while JCM advocates it. Scientific<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">management also breaks up work into small tasks for employees to perform. JCM encourages<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">employees to take the work as a whole and complete it. Scientific management can become<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">repetitive and boring, which may lead to a lack of motivation to perform a job. JCM challenges<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">employees and gives them autonomy to decide how their work should be handled.<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Similar to JCM, job enlargement and enrichment focus on promoting intrinsic motivation.<\/span><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"> <\/span><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Job<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">enlargement increases the number of tasks an employee performs, while enrichment allows<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">employees to gain more control over their work. JCM goes a step further by providing different<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">elements such as skills variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback that<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">affects intrinsic motivation. JCM uses these intangible items to make individuals feel<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">good about the work they do. For example, feedback can have a positive impact on intrinsic<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"margin-right: -918px; margin-bottom: -918px; font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">motivation.
