A. feedback
B. task identity
C. task significance
D. skill variety
E. autonomy

Respuesta :

Answer: E. Autonomy

Explanation:

AUTONOMY refers to a situation where employees have a significant degree of control over their work. Normally, this is a privilege reserved for only upper management because giving autonomy to just about anyone can have disastrous consequences.

It is worthy of note however that there is now a wide belief that if employees are given more autonomy, it can prove very effective in improving employee engagement.
