    Good job design accommodates employees' mental and physical characteristics by paying attention to:
    1. Muscular energy such as work/rest schedules or pace of work.
    2. Mental energy such as boring or extremely difficult tasks.

    Good job design:
    1.0Allows for employee input. Employees should have the option to vary activities according to personal needs, work habits, and the circumstances in the workplace.
    2. Gives employees a sense of contribution and accomplishment.
    3. Includes training so employees know what tasks to do and how to do them properly.
    4. Provides good work/rest schedules.
    5. Allows for an adjustment period for physically demanding jobs.
    6. Provides feedback to the employees about their performance.
    7. Minimizes energy expenditure and force requirements.
