Abstract
This paper reviewed Hackman and Oldham`s job characteristics model(JCM) in terms of level of analysis issues and provided an alternative model. The data from 512 nurses of 124 nursing units in 19 nursing departments failed to support the JCM. However, the data supported the alternative model presented in this model. This research found that employee(nurse) GNS was associated with critical psychological states and work outcomes regardless of whether more enriched job was assigned to individual workers(nurses), nursing units, or nursing departments. In contrast, employee GNS was not associated with critical psychological states and work outcomes, when less enriched job was assigned to individual workers, nursing units and nursing departments. The nature of the modified JCM as an alternative approach to social informational processing model was discussed.
