Abstract

The study under report was conducted to assess the probable outcomes of job design from the point of view of employee work performance and their intention to leave the organizations (Coal India Limited). The survey instruments were used to collect data personally. The Pearson correlation and hierarchical stepwise regression were applied to see the relationships by using SPSS 20. In general, the findings revealed that job enlargement and enrichment practice are positively associated with task and contextual performance, but negatively associated with counterproductive performance and turnover intention. Findings revealed that appropriate job design enhances the work performance and reduces the negative outcomes, satisfaction with task allocation and its profiling retains employees for the long term in the organizations. The results of the study are thoroughly discussed and interpreted. In addition to implications, limitations and suggestions for future research are also outlined.
