Crafting employees’ work design for the digital era: a systematic literature review
TL;DR
The reviewer found that well-being and performance could be enhanced through training workers to improve their own jobs, combining training with job redesign, and employing system-wide approaches that simultaneously improve job design and various other employment practices.
Abstract
Background: There is mixed evidence regarding whether intentional efforts to enhance job design led to improvements in well-being. We explored the impact of other employment practices, either as tools for job redesign or as complementary factors that support job redesign. Our focus was on well-being, and we also evaluated performance as an outcome when studies included it. The reviewer found that well-being and performance could be enhanced through training workers to improve their own jobs, combining training with job redesign, and employing system-wide approaches that simultaneously improve job design and various other employment practices.
