The Job Characteristics Model (JCM) specifies five core job dimensions — skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback from the job — that map to three critical psychological states (experienced meaningfulness, experienced responsibility, knowledge of r…

Instruments measuring this construct

Job Dimensions Scale

Hackman and Oldham (1975) [developed from earlier work; see references to Raen and Ginsburgh (1977), Hall, Goodale, Rabinowitz and Morgan (1978), Oldham and Brass (1979), Orpen (1979a), Rabinowitz, Hall and Goodale (1977), Steers (1977), Steers and Spencer (1977), and Wanous (1974b)]

Operational metrics for this construct

No operational HR metric is linked to this construct yet. Metrics (e.g. an attrition rate, an engagement score) operationalize a construct from systems data — a different measurement model than a survey scale — and connect operational measurement to this construct’s relationship network. See /registry/metrics.

Top effect-size relations

No effect-size rows tied to this construct yet. EffectSize ingest is staged behind the curator-promotion CLI; this rail fills as rows land. Ranking: |value| × quality-grade weight.

Interventions targeting this construct

No interventions in the registry currently target this construct. The intervention library (PRN-047) fills as the curator promotes new rows from the applied organizational-development literature.
