Task Interdependence and the Theory of Job Design
发展了任务相互依赖的概念,并将其整合到Hackman和Oldham的工作设计理论中,区分了发起和接收的任务相互依赖,提出了可检验的假设。
In this article I develop the concept of task interdependence and integrate it in the blackman and Oldham [1976] theory of job design. I differentiate between initiated and received task interdependence according to the direction of workflow in relation to the job incumbent. Each of these dimensions includes the elements of scope, resources, and criticality. Experienced responsibility for one's own work outcomes is differentiated from experienced responsibility for dependents' work outcomes. Testable hypotheses derived from the elaborated theory are set forth.
