QUESTION

Which of the following has the LEAST association with the concept of task identity as defined by job enrichment theory?

A) management by objectives
B) Theory Y
C) Hawthorne effect
D) scientific management
E) Theory Z

ANSWER

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Task identity describes the extent to which a job requires a worker to perform all tasks needed to complete the job from beginning to end. Scientific management breaks jobs into distinct tasks and is more appropriate for narrowly focused, manual tasks such as production assembly lines where workers only complete one portion of a product.
