In 1976 Hackman & Oldham completed their research on motivation in the workplace in relation to finding the right job and ensuring peak performance. They proposed the "Job Characteristics Model". The model states that there are five main job characteristics which include: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback.
