The motivational value of jobs was predicted from the motivational value of tasks, task interdependence, and task similarity. This model was tested on 67 jobs (188 incumbents); analysts provided task measures and incumbents provided job measures. Results suggest that, to design motivating jobs, the motivational values of tasks should be increased, as should task interdependence (up to a moderate point); low to moderate amounts of task similarity do not matter.
