Research on the task design and incentive approach for the state-owned enterprise project managers

With the implementation of the belt and road strategy, more and more state-owned enterprises go abroad and participate in international competition and cooperation. Because of its traditional mechanism, the incentive mechanism for project managers of state-owned enterprises faces with significant challenges. Because of their work level, political consciousness and working environments, the state-owned enterprise project managers are deemed to be a special group among project managers. Based on the job characteristics model, this paper examines the effect of the specific dimensions of the job characteristics model on the state-owned enterprise project managers' work emotions, work attitudes, work behavior and work role performance through the questionnaire survey, variable correlation analysis and regression analysis. It is finally proved that the JCM-based task design indeed has positive effects on the state-owned enterprise project managers' work behavior and work performance. This is helpful for the state-own enterprises to design incentive models for their project managers and provides valuable implications for enterprises to effectively manage their core project talents and ultimately helps increase the managing efficiency for the government project management and the state-owned enterprise management.
