The Key to Achieving Task Identity Is to Design Jobs

question 199

True/False

The key to achieving task identity is to design jobs that demand the use of many different skills.
Designing jobs that demand the use of different skills contributes to skill variety (as opposed to task identity).Task identity (the term used in this question)refers to the degree to which the job requires doing a task with a visible outcome from beginning to end.Having employees use a variety of different skills does not guarantee that they will see a visible outcome,so skill variety does not guarantee task identity.
