Job enlargement is a process of adding or to increasing roles to a job. On other hand, employees are given more duties to perform. Job enlargement may come with an increased salary but this doesn't mean an employee is promoted since it involves addition of tasks or duties within a same job, while promotion involves shifting of employees from lower level to higher level within an organization known as vertical movement.
Job enlargement is a good way to improve employee's skills, to reduce monotony as well as to avoid boredom. However, job enlargement has also some disadvantages to both organization and employees, some disadvantages of job enlargement include job creep (workload), low efficiency due to lack of specialization and increase in costs of training employees.
