According to Hackman and Oldham's job characteristics model, the five core job characteristics (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback) lead to three psychological states (experienced meaningfulness of the work, responsibility for outcomes, and knowledge of results), which, in turn, lead to five outcomes (high internal work motivation, high-quality work performance, high satisfaction with the work, low absenteeism and turnover). Therefore, option C best describes the elements of the model.
