| Abstract: | This article aims at examining the mediating role played by five key job characteristics in the relationship between employee participation in a job redesign intervention and employee well-being. It has been assumed that any effects of employee participation in job redesign on well-being are a result of changes in job characteristics rather than participation in change per se. Therefore, it is important to statistically test for mediation in job redesign intervention studies to help establish that the change in job characteristics is the mechanism through which job redesign interventions work. However, this has rarely been tested directly. Results from multilevel analyses of a longitudinal 9-month long serendipitous quasi-experimental participative job redesign intervention indicated that changes in job control, participation, skill utilization and feedback, but not task obstacles, were sufficient to account for the relationship between the intervention and employee well-being. |
