or collective- large number of employees joined large firms

• Serial – Traditions and customs, Experienced employee inducts a new hire

or Disjunctive- Inventive and creative employee, not burdened by traditions, lacking connection or
consistency

• Investiture - the action of formally investing a person with honours or rank, Most high level
appointments follow this approach , new hire select their office furnishing and subordinates
or Divestiture- dismantle the old mindset of new member so that instilling a new set of values or
norms become easy, followed in Miltary

independently .Three classification mentioned below:
i. Independent.
ii. Sequential.
iii. Pool.
Placements Problems
 Independent Job: Field sale office, little bearing
on others.
 Sequential Job: Activity or tasks of one worker
dependent on work activities of others.
Example - Assembly line.
 Pooled Job: The work of all workers are highly
interdependent (team work, project teams).
