The idea of job design was begun in the early industrial revolution, it has been discussed in the early twentieth century by Fredrick Taylor after which with the aid of his predecessors a variety of work has been done on the role of job design and employee performance, but this concept failed to attain much attention from managers. This resulted in a decline in the productivity of many businesses facing opportunity fees and productivity below the optimum stage. According to Bates (2004); Harter, (2002) and Baumruk (2004), an effective job design brings the involvement of an employee in work-related activities which forecasts employee output, departmental productivity and organizational success. … Managers and researchers come to be interested in the effect of job design on worker behavior and attitudes while it's miles collected that changes within the paintings' surroundings are followed by using changes in employee attitudes and motivations.

Work design has enormous practical significance for organizations because they strive to achieve results as diverse as efficiency and satisfaction. The main part of every manager's job involves the design of employee work. The majority of research under the auspices of work design centered on the model developed by (Hackman and Oldham 1975, 1976).

Thus, tasks must be designed concerning employees so that work stress and employee turnover are well managed, increase employee satisfaction and motivation and enable organizations to compete effectively in global markets(Kelloway and Barling 1991). In developing theories about work and health, psychological literature has focused on the psychological effects that certain job characteristics have on mental well-being (especially job dissatisfaction, work tension and fatigue) and the possibility of interventions to overcome these negative outcomes.
