i) Nature: Job enlargement refers to expansion of the range of tasks in a job. It involves a horizontal loading or expansion of job, i.e. addition of tasks of the same nature. But job enrichment refers to an improvement of the quality of a job in terms of its intrinsic worth. It involves vertical loading of functions and responsibility of the jobholder.
ii) Need for Skills: Job enlargement may not necessarily call for acquisition or utilizations of higher-level skills on the part of the jobholders. But job enrichment calls for development and utilization of higher skills, initiative and innovation on the part of the jobholders.
iii) External Direction and Control: Job enlargement does not reduce the need
for direction and control of the superior. The jobholder may need more supervision in view of enlargement of the scope of his responsibilities. But in case of job enrichment, the job-hold needs less of external supervision. He utilizes his capabilities for self-direction and control.
