Abstract

This paper addresses the significant issue of low-level faculty engagement/participation in the assessment process by advocating the employment of self-managed work teams and integrating detailed motivational elements in the design of assurance of learning plans. Specifically, this article illustrates how each of the five motivational components from Hackman & Oldham’s Job Characteristics Model (1974) can be utilized in the design/redesign of a college’s assurance of learning process and attend to the issue of social loafing. Numerous prescriptive actions illustrating how the authors applied the motivational theory are presented to serve as a reference to other institutions as they too seek to improve the quality of their assurance of learning outcomes
