That's true, but a dual ladder program can also provide growth opportunities.

But job enlargement is about expanding the scope of the job, not just giving options.

Ooh, the dual ladder program sounds interesting. I wonder if that counts as job enlargement or more of a lateral move. Either way, it's an intriguing option.

Haha, budgeting authority for a first-level supervisor? That's more like a promotion than job enlargement. Nice try though!

I'm not sure about that. Giving a manager the ability to provide job enlargement tasks doesn't really fit the definition of job enlargement itself.

Option A seems like the best choice here. Transferring a production worker to a Q/A role is a classic example of job enlargement.

That's not job enlargement, it's more about career development opportunities.

That option doesn't describe job enlargement, it's about managerial authority.

That's correct! Job enlargement involves adding tasks to an employee's current role.
