Which outcome is NOT associated with job rotation?

• A. Increases specialization.
• B. Broadens skills.
• C. Reduces monotony.
• D. Improves flexibility.

Answer: (A)

Job rotation involves moving employees between different tasks to broaden their abilities and make the workforce more adaptable. Because workers are exposed to a variety of tasks, they develop a wider set of skills rather than focusing deeply on one area. This means increasing specialization is not something that comes from job rotation; rotation tends to decrease it by spreading expertise across multiple tasks. In contrast, rotating roles does broaden skills, reduces monotony by varying the work, and improves flexibility since staff can be shifted to different tasks as needed.
