Correct Answer: Work overload


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Work overload

Job enlargement involves expanding the scope of a job by adding more tasks or responsibilities at the same level of skill and responsibility. While job enlargement can have some advantages, such as increased variety and reduced boredom, it can also lead to work overload.When additional tasks and responsibilities are added to a job without a corresponding increase in resources or time, employees may find themselves overwhelmed with a higher workload. This can result in increased stress, fatigue, and a decreased ability to perform tasks effectively. Work overload can negatively impact job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being.
