Which of the following is NOT typically considered a job design approach to motivate employees?

• A. Job Redesign
• B. Remote Working
• C. Job Rotation
• D. Job Enrichment

Answer: (B)

Job design focuses on shaping the content of the work to boost motivation by increasing variety, meaning, autonomy, and feedback. Remote working, however, is a working arrangement about where and how the work is performed, not a change to the job’s design itself. It can influence motivation through flexibility, but it doesn’t alter the tasks, responsibilities, or level of challenge inherent in the job. The other options are classic ways to change the job to make it more engaging: redesign reorganizes tasks and roles to improve fit and flow; rotation exposes employees to different tasks to build skills and reduce monotony; enrichment adds more responsibility and autonomy to heighten motivation through deeper involvement. So remote working isn’t typically considered a job design approach to motivate employees.
