The design of work

The design of work refers to how tasks and responsibilities are structured and organized within a job or workplace. It involves deciding what activities need to be done, who does them, how they are done, and the overall environment in which work takes place. Effective work design aims to enhance productivity, job satisfaction, and employee well-being by creating roles that are meaningful, efficient, and aligned with organizational goals. This can include considering factors like teamwork, flexibility, skill development, and the use of technology to optimize performance and engagement.
