Which job redesign framework, grounded in Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Motivation Theory, focuses on the vertical expansion of a role by increasing an employee's autonomy, accountability, and managerial decision-making authority?

Job Enrichment is a job design approach pioneered by Frederick Herzberg as a direct application of his Two-Factor Theory (Motivation-Hygiene Theory). It involves the vertical expansion of a position. Core Characteristics: Rather than simply adding more routine tasks at the same level, job enrichment builds intrinsic motivation by giving employees higher-level duties, greater discretion, ownership over planning and execution, and direct control over work outcomes. Herzberg's Motivators: It taps directly into motivators such as achievement, recognition, meaningful work, increased responsibility, and personal growth.
