The classic assembly-line job is an example of the job design strategy of ___.

A) job compression
B) job rotation
C) task identity
D) job focus
E) job simplification

The classic assembly-line job is an example of job simplification, which involves breaking down a job into smaller, simpler tasks in order to increase efficiency and productivity. Workers on an assembly line typically have a very narrow set of tasks that they repeat over and over again, such as attaching a single component to a product. This makes the job more repetitive and less demanding, but also less varied and less interesting for the worker.
