The JDS also indicates how ready employees are to accept change. Employees who
have high growth needs will respond more readily to job enrichment than will those
with low or weak growth needs. A thorough diagnosis of the existing work system
should be completed before implementing actual changes. The JDS measures satisfaction
with pay, coworkers, and supervision. If there is high dissatisfaction with one or more of
these areas, other interventions might be more helpful prior to work redesign.
