      COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN THE WORKPLACE

      Global jobs, especially the technical ones have become complex day by day. Complex jobs are the jobs that are characterized by the complexity of the decision making, complexity of problems, complexity of problem solving, complexity and ambiguity of the tasks, uncertainty in the environment and complexity of interactions it entails. Task complexity is another key factor in determining job complexity. TaskManagementGuide website defines task complexity as "a collection of properties inherited by a task. These properties (like the priority, due date, duration, and urgency) define the difficulty of these tasks and its significance to a performer (a person who should do the task)".

      Several jobs require employees to handle critical and complex technical issues almost on a daily basis. The job ranges from problem-solving responsibility being a part of the jobs to the main job
