i gether with a more Intensive analysis of job requirements.17
The National Society of Professional Engineers has
strongly urged that rotation for engineers include different
assignments in the various operations of the
company. A study of job rotation at the University of
Chicago classified rotation into the following two categories;
(1) intrafunctional rotation, which prepares the
individual for better performance within the scope of a
specialized function and (2) interfunctional rotation, I
which prepares the individual for advancement as well as j
for better performance in positions which require, or j
would benefit from, more generalized abilities and under- j
I standing. 1R Of those respondents to the questionnaire
which employed job rotatihn programs, sixty per cent definitely
utilized interfunctional rotation, since they re-i
