Where that will require training them very well to do the hall task. To increase his ability. Feeding back him will be important at this point. Then evaluate him to chick from his ability and skills. After that, we need to give him the chance to do small task then bigger tasks.

Autonomy, that about giving employee freedom and flexibility to do the work. After 6 month of increasing task identity, we are able to give employees more freedom to perform their task, as they want. We can give them the ability to finish the work when they want by giving them fixable schedule to do the work. On the other hand, provide different approaches for autonomy.
