Skill variety is the extent to which a job requires a worker to use a number of different skills, abilities, or talents. Task identity is the extent to which a job involves performing a whole piece of work from its beginning to its end. Task significance is the extent to which a job has an impact on the lives or work of other people in or out of the organization.
