Answer:
When a job is redesigned to include a greater variety of tasks and autonomy, employees feel more ownership over their work. Empowerment reinforces this by giving them decision‑making authority, while participation ensures they are involved in shaping the redesign itself. The synergy of the three creates higher intrinsic motivation, commitment and job satisfaction.
| Concept | Key Feature | Motivational Impact |
| Job redesign | Variety, task identity, autonomy | Increases sense of achievement and relevance of work |
| Empowerment | Delegated authority, responsibility for outcomes | Boosts confidence and intrinsic drive |
| Participation | Involvement in decision‑making, feedback loops | Enhances commitment and perceived fairness |
By aligning these elements, managers create a work environment where employees feel valued, capable and influential, leading to sustained motivation.
