Q-What are the organizational benefits for doing the job design?

Ans-Job design is the primary function of organizational structure. The primary objective of job
design is to create a job that is easy to understand, increase the efficiency of work, and reduce the
feeling of boredom, and monotonousness in doing the same type of job repetitively.

Approaches/Techniques to Job Design

A job design is done to make individuals responsible for a limited set of activities. Let’s take a closer
look at 6 popular techniques for better job design.

Benefits of Effective Job Design

An organization can be benefited from effective job design in various ways. Let’s look at some of
them.

 Enhanced Employee Involvement

Effective job design actively involves employees in decision-making processes, encouraging their
participation and engagement. This involvement empowers individuals by giving them a sense of
ownership over their work, fostering collaboration, and promoting a supportive work environment.

 Heightened Productivity

When employees have clear and well-defined roles, they can focus their energy on tasks that align
with their strengths and expertise. This streamlined approach enhances productivity, as individuals
can fully utilize their skills to accomplish their assigned responsibilities efficiently.

 Improved Work Quality

Effective job design emphasizes the significance of quality in work outcomes. Matching employees’
skills and abilities with the right tasks enables individuals to perform at their best. As a result, the
overall quality of work improves, leading to greater customer satisfaction and organizational success.

TALENT MANAGEMENT (KMBN HR01) MRADULA YADAV (ASSI. PROFESSOR)

 KRISHNA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLGY

 Increased Employee Satisfaction

Job design that considers employees’ preferences, strengths, and interests leads to higher job
satisfaction. When individuals find their work meaningful and fulfilling, they are more likely to feel
satisfied and motivated, which, in turn, can positively impact their overall well-being.

 Decreased Absenteeism

An effective job design can help reduce absenteeism among employees. By creating a work
environment that encourages autonomy, provides opportunities for growth and development, and
recognizes individual contributions, employees are more likely to feel committed and motivated to
show up regularly.

 Reduced Employee Turnover

A well-designed job that offers meaningful tasks and growth opportunities can significantly reduce
employee turnover. When individuals find their work engaging and rewarding, they are more likely
to stay with the organization for a longer period. This stability helps businesses maintain a
knowledgeable and experienced workforce.

 Alleviated Boredom

Job design that incorporates variety and challenges can help alleviate employee boredom. By
introducing tasks with different skill requirements and allowing individuals to expand their
knowledge and skills, job design keeps employees stimulated and engaged, enhancing their overall
job satisfaction.

 Promoted Personal Growth

Effective job design recognizes the potential for personal growth and development. By aligning tasks
with employees’ career aspirations and providing opportunities for training and skill enhancement, it
enables individuals to expand their knowledge, improve their competencies, and progress within their
chosen field

Q- Explain the different approaches of creating job design.

Ans-There are several approaches to creating job design, each with its own strengths and
weaknesses. Here are some of the most common:

TALENT MANAGEMENT (KMBN HR01) MRADULA YADAV (ASSI. PROFESSOR)

 KRISHNA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLGY

Human Approach

The human approach to job design emphasizes designing a job around people or employees, not
organizational processes.

In other words, it recognizes the need to design jobs that are rewarding (financially and otherwise)
and interesting at the same time.

According to this approach, jobs should gratify an individual’s need for recognition, respect, growth,
and responsibility.

As popularized by Herzberg’s research, job enrichment is one of the ways in the human approach to
job design.

Herzberg classified these factors into two categories – hygiene factors and motivators.

Engineering Approach

The engineering approach was devised by FW Taylors et al. They introduced the task idea that gained
prominence over time.

According to this approach, the work or task of each employee is planned by the management a day
in advance.

The instructions for the same are sent to each employee, describing the tasks to be undertaken in
detail. The details include the what, how, and when of the task and the time deadlines. The approach
is based on the application of scientific principles to job design.

Job Characteristics Approach

Hackman and Oldham popularized the job characteristics approach. According to this approach, there
is a direct relationship between job satisfaction and rewards.

TALENT MANAGEMENT (KMBN HR01) MRADULA YADAV (ASSI. PROFESSOR)

 KRISHNA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLGY

They said that employees would be their productive best and committed when rewarded
appropriately for their work. They laid down five core dimensions that can be used to describe any
job – skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback.

Skill variety: The employees must utilize all their skills and develop new skills while dealing with a
job.

Task Identity: The extent to which an identifiable task or piece of work is required to complete the
job.

Task Significance: How important is the job to other people, and what impact does it create on their
lives?

Autonomy: Does the job offer freedom and independence to individuals performing the same?

Feedback: Is feedback necessary for improving performance?

These are different approaches, but all of them point to more or less the same factors that need to be
considered, like interest, efficiency, productivity, motivation, etc.

Q- Define the Job Analysis. Also write a short note on Job Description and Job Specification.
Ans-Job Analysis:

Job analysis refers to a systematic process of collecting all information about a specific job, including
skill requirements, roles, responsibilities and processes in order to create a valid job description. Job
analysis also gives an overview of the physical, emotional & related human qualities required to
execute the job successfully.

Job analysis is an important step in ensuring that the right candidate is selected. Job analysis helps the
employer in recruitment and selection, performance management, choosing compensation and
benefits, etc. It helps the employees to have a clear picture of what is actually required of them.

job analysis involves the preparation of two statements: job description and job specification. These
statements provide a comprehensive understanding of the job and the requirements for potential
candidates. Let's discuss each statement in detail:

knowledge, and personal attributes required for a particular job. It provides a detailed description of
the ideal candidate, enabling the organization to effectively recruit and select the right person. A job
specification typically includes the following information:

 Education and experience: The minimum educational qualifications and relevant work
experience required for the job.
 Skills and competencies: The specific technical, functional, and behavioural skills needed to
perform the job effectively.
 Knowledge: Any specialized knowledge or expertise required for the job, such as industry-
