Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job enlargement involves increasing the number of tasks or duties associated with a job, which appears to be the case in this scenario. Stuart's responsibilities have expanded from just welding the upper panel of the wheel well to now welding all parts of the entire left rear wheel area. This is an example of job enlargement, not job specialization, job enrichment or job rotation.
