By working in a larger scope, as Hulin and Blood state, workers are pushed to adapting new tactics, techniques, and methodologies on their own.<ref name=":0" /> [[Frederick Herzberg]]<ref name="Herzberg 1968 46β57">{{cite book|last=Herzberg|first=F.|title=One more time: How do you motivate employees|publisher=Harvard Business Review|year=1968|location=Boston|pages=46β57}}</ref> referred to the addition of interrelated tasks as 'horizontal job loading,' or, in other words, widening the breadth of an employee's responsibilities.
