Job Enrichment

By F. John Reh, About.com

Definition: Job Enrichment is the addition to a job of tasks that increase the amount of employee control or responsibility. It is a vertical expansion of the job as opposed to the horizontal expansion of a job, which is called job enlargement.
Examples: We use job enrichment to make work more challenging and rewarding for our employees to make it easier to keep them.
