Part 4/11:
One of the primary frameworks used in this study is the Job Characteristics Model (JCM), originally developed in the 1970s by Hackman and Oldham. This model identifies five key job characteristics—skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback—which collectively influence employees' psychological states leading to job satisfaction and motivation. Importantly, the model serves as a theoretical backdrop for assessing how collaborations with robots can affect human workers' job perceptions and work quality.
