JOB CLASSIFICATION

JOB CLASSIFICATION

Mumford and Salisbury asked a group of people to answer the question “Who am I?” twenty times. The work role featured prominently in every response. It seems that our identity is wrapped up in the job we do.

A. Maccoby suggested there were five different job classifications:
• experts driven by mastery, control and autonomy
• defenders, driven by protection, dignity and power
• helpers, driven by caring, sociability and relating
• innovators, driven by creating, competing, and glory
• self-developers, driven by balancing, mastery and play, knowledge and fun.

B. Richard Bolles in “What Colour is your Parachute?” says that people are attracted to working with: things, data, ideas,
knowledge or other people.
