===== Definition ===== Task segregation, also known as task specialization or job specialization, refers to the division of labor within an organization or society where different individuals or groups are assigned specific tasks or responsibilities based on their skills, abilities, or expertise. This division of labor helps improve productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness by allowing individuals to focus on specific tasks and become experts in their respective fields. In task segregation, each person or group typically performs a specific job or task within a larger process or workflow. This allows for better coordination, as each individual can concentrate on their assigned task without being overwhelmed by the complexity of the overall process. It also enables individuals to develop specialized skills and knowledge related to their assigned tasks, resulting in increased efficiency and quality of work. Task segregation can be observed in various domains including manufacturing, healthcare, customer service, and administration. For example, in a manufacturing plant, workers may be divided into different departments such as assembly, machining, quality control, and logistics, where each department focuses on its specific task within the production process. Similarly, in healthcare, different healthcare professionals such as nurses, doctors, and pharmacists have distinct roles and responsibilities, ensuring specialized care and treatment for patients. Overall, task segregation ensures that individuals or groups can focus on specific tasks, leading to increased efficiency and improved outcomes in various fields.
