How different Two Monks carrying water and blind folded person building tower are?

As per the activity done in the class I could differentiate between Two Monks carrying water and blind folded person building tower on parameters. I am glad that, I also got help to add points.


Job Dimension
Two monks  carrying the water 
Blind folded person building the tower 
Skill Variety
Comparatively High.
·       In this activity different skills such as Team Work, Physical strength, Conflict resolution, etc. are required. Hence skill variety is more.
Comparatively Low.
·       In this activity only blocks need to be placed one above another depending on instructions.
·       Hence skills required for this tasks are comparatively less.
Task Identity
Comparatively Low.
·       This is because at end of task nothing new is created. Only water is transported from one place to another.
·       Also there are two persons doing a single task. Hence Task identity will be low.
Comparatively High.
·       It is high because at the end of task the person can see the whole tower that he has built.
·       Another point is that even though other persons are there to guide him, blind folded person would himself single handedly physically build the tower. Hence a complete new thing is created. Hence Task identity will be high
Autonomy factors 
Comparatively High.
·       The two monks can decide whichever way they want to bring water.
·       They can use method of bringing single bucket by two persons or two bucket each by two person.
Comparatively Low.
·       The blind folded person does not have any autonomy in deciding the methodology. He has to listen and obey whatever middle management i.e. his instructors say
