Abstract
This paper examines two extensions to the Hackman and Oldham (1976) job characteristics model of work motivation. One extension described a curvilinear relationship between psychological response and job scope. The second extension viewed the degree of curvature in this relationship to be a function of growth need strength. Only the first extension proved to be a statistically significant improvement over the basic model. Implications of these results for the job characteristics model are discussed.
