Rich Job x Poor Job , Manager-Individual-Group

Today, Dr. Mandi gave us a new insight knowledge on Job, its varieties and difference between Individual decision and group decision. It was quite interesting to learn about such basic topic from the point of management.  Now moving on with the description of job, job is the set of task which is done periodically by the employee. It is comprehensive, complete, homogenous. We do not put unrelated task in Job, because it unknowingly creates problem of synchronization and hampers the efficiency.There are two types of Job i.e. Rich job and Poor job. It is very important to note that job are not divided on the basis of pay or earning , but there are certain criteria in the management field on the basis of which job are rated. These are :

1. Autonomy
2. Skill
3. Variety
4. Task Identity
5. Feedback

The job with the high rating in all the above fields will be considered as High Job and low rating will be considered as Poor Job. The above terms are not new to us. We are quite familiar with all of them. Autonomy means the power to exercise own's plan and decision. Skill is the  competency of one own's. Variety means diversity. Task identity denotes the level of its visibility of task or How much task is substantial while Feedback is loop like structure where the views points of end customer reaches to Employees. For example Job of Pilot has absolutely no autonomy, has high Skill, has some variety, has good task identity and has proper feedback process. So, here we can conclude that it is close to Rich job. Rich Job and Poor Job has their environment variation also. Rich Job has High Job Involvement, High Satisfaction, High productivity. While it is just opposite to the Poor Job. Rich Job is also known as intrinsic reward and Poor job is known as extrinsic reward, which in turns means that more money is paid in Poor job.

Now we come to the discussion of Individual decision and Group decision. A good manager is the one whose difference between the its own decision and group decision is as minimum as possible. We can otherwise say that for a good manger Individual Decision should be equal to Group Decision. There is another concept of Expert Decision. Expert is the benchmark where each and every manger wants to achieve. So, A expert decision also plays a important role and thus the equation becomes
Individual Decision = Expert Decision = Group decision. Taking an example of organization, It is a place where group of people works together in coordination to achieve a desired goal. It has a manager to control the group of people and each organization have certain pattern of doing the work. Each organization tries to accomplishes the task in six sigma platform or want to achieve CMMI Level 5 certification. So, These standard are regarded as Expert Decision . Manager Decision are regarded as Individual Decision and Organization decision are regarded as group decision. So, Now for our understanding we can scale the rating of manager.Manager Decision should match with six sigma method or CMMI Level 5 standard. If the difference with these i.e. Expert results and manager results minimum then we can say that manager has sound knowledge about the field of organization and now manager has to turn the group decision towards himself i.e. he should also try to keep the individual decision and group decision as minimum as possible. Then only a manager can be regarded as best manager.
