Abstract

For approximately five years, Ohio State University Extension has utilized "job enrichment" as one tool for motivating mid-career employees. The authors sought to determine if this personnel practice produced the benefits cited in the literature. A survey of ten participants demonstrates that "vertical job enrichment" can produce positive benefits for employees, but negative outcomes can occur without careful planning and provision for supportive resources.
