36. The design of a job has a great impact on whether or not the job itself is motivating. One of the characteristics of a job design is skill variety, which is the extent to which a job requires a worker to use a broad range of skills and talents to perform the job successfully. What is true about skill variety?

Skill variety increases intrinsic motivation by making work more interesting and meaningful through the use of diverse abilities. The Job Characteristics Model posits that skill variety, alongside other factors, enhances the experienced meaningfulness of work, directly boosting intrinsic motivation, which stems from internal satisfaction rather than external rewards.
