Write an APA Style thought paper (400 words) based on your research findings on your examination on the job characteristics model of Hackman and Oldham. How well does that model account for motivation in criminal justice workers? Describe the core job characteristics of a particular job.
How do they relate to important psychological states? What specific kinds of knowledge and skills, needs for growth, and satisfactions with pay and working conditions can influence the outcomes of your particular job? There is some disagreement about the importance of participation in the redesign and enrichment of human services jobs. Do you feel that such participation by frontline staff is desirable? What level of participation do you support? What benefits and problems might be associated with worker participation in job design in criminal justice?
