Question 276General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
The design of a job has a great impact on whether or not the job itself is motivating. One of the characteristics of a job design is skill variety, which is the extent to which a job requires a worker to use a broad range of skills and talents to perform the job successfully. What is true about skill variety?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Generally, the greater the variety of the skills that are performed, the greater the level of intrinsic motivation.
The reasoning behind this is that when a job requires a worker to utilize a broader range of skills and talents, it tends to be more intrinsically motivating. This is because the worker can experience a greater sense of challenge, personal growth, and meaningfulness in their work, which are key drivers of intrinsic motivation. In contrast, the other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the relationship between skill variety and the levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
