Introduction: Job analysis refers to the process of studying a job in order to


determine which activities and responsibilities it involves, its relative importance to
other jobs, the qualifications necessary for performing the job and the conditions
under which the work is performed.
Concept and Application:
An important concept in job analysis is that the job, not the person doing the job
would be assessed, even though the human resources may collect some kind of job
analysis data from incumbents.
Job analysis is often confused with the evaluation of a job, but the two activities are
very different. Job evaluation refers to the process of ensuring that one job is
compared to other jobs within the company in order to determine the correct pay
rate, and it is not addressed in this toolkit.
Examples of how an organization may make use of job analysis data:
• Workforce Planning
• Performance Management
• Recruitment and selection
• Career and succession planning
• Training and Development
• Compensation administration.
• Health, safety and security.
• Employee/labor relations.
• Risk management.
Information Collection:
Job analysis includes the collection of information characteristics that differentiate
jobs. The following factors enable to make distinctions between jobs:
Knowledge, skills and abilities
Work activities and behaviours
Interaction with the others
Standards of performance
Financial budgeting and its impact
Used Equipment and machines.
Conditions of work
Supervision provided and received.
If an employer hasn’t already done so, grouping the jobs with related functions would
be helpful in the process of job analysis by identification of the job family, duties of
the job and tasks of related work. For instance:

Job family. Grouping of related jobs having broadly similar content.

Job: Grouping of tasks, duties and responsibilities an individual would perform


making up his or her total assignment of work.
Task: A specific statement of what a person does, with similar tasks grouped into a
dimension of task.

A technical service job family, for instance, can be identified as follows:

Job analysis methods:

Determination of which tasks employees would perform would not be easy. The most
effective technique while collection of information for a job analysis is to gain
information using direct observation as well as from the most qualified incumbent via
questionnaires or interviews. The following would describe the most common
methods of job analysis.

Open-ended questionnaire: Job incumbents and managers would fill out


questionnaires regarding the KSAs required for the job. HR complies the answers
and publishes a composite job statement requirement. This method would produce
reasonable job needs with input from employees and managers, and enables to
analyse many jobs with limited resources.

Highly structured questionnaire: These questionnaires enable only specific


responses that are aimed at the determination of the frequency with which specific
tasks get performed, the importance it carries and the skills needed.
The structured questionnaire is helpful to define a job objectively, and this also
enables analysing with computer models.
Interviews: In a face-to-face interview, the interviewer would obtain the required
information from the employee regarding the KSAs required to perform the job. The
interviewer makes use of pre-determined questions, with extra follow-up questions
on the basis of the response of the employees. This method would work well for a
professional job.

Observation: Employees are directly observed performing job tasks, and


observations are translated into the necessary KSAs for the job. Observation would
render a realistic perspective of the daily tasks and activities of job and works best
for jobs of short-cycle production.
Work diary or log: A work diary or a log is a record that is maintained by the
employees and involves the frequency and timing of the tasks. The employee would
keep a log over a period of days or weeks. HR analyses the logs, identification of
patterns and would translate them into duties along with responsibilities. This method
renders an enormous amount of data, but much of it is challenging to interpret, may
not be related to job and it is challenging to keep up-to-date.

Behavioural event interview: This is a competency-based job analysis, and it differs


from the analysis of traditional job, and this focuses solely on evaluation of the tasks,
duties and responsibilities.

In behavioural event interviewing, it differs from the analysis of traditional job, and
this focuses solely on the task evaluation, duties and responsibilities.

In behavioural even interviewing:


A team of senior managers identify the areas of future performance important to the
business plans and strategic plans of an organization.
HR would assemble the panel that is composed of knowledgeable individuals about
the jobs of an organization.
These groups can be employees, managers, supervisors and even trainers.

Use of Job analysis data:


Job Description and specification: HR makes use of the job analysis output in order
to develop a job description and specification. The job description would summarize
and organize the information for the job-related actions of the organization.
Generally, the job description and specifications are combined but
compartmentalized to enable independent updating as require.

Compensation decisions: In relation to the pay practices of employees, job analysis


has two important uses: It would establish a similarity and differences in job content,
and it enables to determine the internal enquiry and relative worth of like jobs.

Selection Assessment: The information from job analysis is also used as a base to
select and develop employment assessment measuring the most important task or
KSAs. Some assessments include the work samples simulating the job tasks and
need candidates to demonstrate that they would be able to perform these tasks in an
effective manner.

Conclusion: So, it can be concluded that job analysis helps to figure out all the
benchmarks that ensure
