This assignment is about the analysis of the case study by Elizabeth Layman (2011). The questions which will be discussed are “How are the principles of goal setting applied in this case? ”,” How are the principles of job enrichment applied in this case?”, “What were the outcomes of job enrichment in the HIS Departments?”, and “What was the impact of job enrichment on motivation and communication in the HIS Departments?”

Fourthly, about feedback, you have to get a clear understanding of how the changes are impacting everyone. In this case, there are 3 sections to look at. Sector changes are at the higher level. Changes affect this level on an industry-wide level. Changes to technology or regulations will have an impact on the goals, jobs, and tasks of individual companies and employees. An example would be if there was a regulatory change by the government. Governments don’t make a change based on small medical offices or at a hospital by hospital basis. These are done at an industry level. The organizational changes happen at a middle level.
