The manner in which jobs are designed significantly impacts how workers experience the work that they do and influences performance, productivity and employee well-being. Factors such as control, autonomy, variety, flexibility and support create the conditions under which workers experience variable job satisfaction and motivation.  Our interest lies in the intersection between design, performance and wellbeing and in how more consideration of core job design principles can optimise organisational performance outcomes whilst also promoting the health and wellbeing of its employees. Indicative projects and allied faculty are identified below.
