Job Design:Job design at Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) is well organized. Every
person knows his job well and performs it to his/her utmost capacity.
An employee working in the welding department knows his job well. He
has been provided with modern technology machines and instruments.
Due to job design he has a complete understanding of the work that is
to be done by him and what is required out of him. Similarly, every
working department knows work agendas and work requirements.
Therefore there is no confusion related to job design here at Honda
Atlas.
Job Rotation:In Honda Atlas, workers are periodically shifted in different
departments through different set of jobs in a planned sequence. An
employee who works in the department of welding is rotated in the
other departments like department of Final Assembly. This enables the
employees to learn jobs other than in which they are employed.
Job Enrichment : In Honda Atlas, the process of upgrading the job-task mix in order to
increase the potential for growth, achievement, responsibility and
recognition exists. Every employee gets an equal chance of new tasks
but they are somewhat related to the original task that he is
performing. This enables them to give a potential increase in the
growth and achievement.
Job Enlargement:The allocation of a wider of similar tasks to a job in order to make it
more challenging exists at Honda Atlas. This enables the employees of
the company to work in an environment that offer sufficient challenges
and stimulation. Although it is an improvement over the narrow span
job specialization, but it has limited success in motivating employees.
