Lamar, a manager for a computer assembly department, has toured the assembly floor where employees are performing specialized tasks and noticed that employees seem to be bored and dissatisfied with their work. To promote satisfaction and retain employees’ interest in their jobs, Lamar may do any of the following except_____________.

a. institute job enlargement.
b. transfer everyone out of the department.
c. cross-train employees.
d. start job rotation.

The role of a manager is paramount to the well-functioning of any organization. A manager is responsible for the motivation and supervision of workers in a company.

As a manager, if Lemar notices that the staffs are bored and dissatisfied with their work, he can install job enlargement by increasing the jib scope of workers. This will keep them busy and motivated. Also, Lemar can start job rotation and cross-train the employees. The workers may be bored and dissatisfied as a result of the job being monotonous. Cross training the employees and rotation of jobs will help reduce boredom.

Transferring everyone out of the department is not right for job satisfaction. Transferring employees out will lead to grief and angry workers which isn't good for the company.
