Job analysis is “identification of the specific activities
performed in a job and the characteristics of the person,
the work situation, and the materials or equipment
necessary for performing the job effectively.”
It is the “systematic collection and recording of information
concerning the purpose of a job, its major duties, the
conditions under which it is performed, the contact with
others that performance of the job requires, and the
knowledge, skills and abilities needed for performing the
job effectively.” It, thus, identifies contents of the job (job
description) and characteristics of the persons (job
specifications) who will perform those jobs

Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Job Analysis Questionnaire
Handles some of the problems of job analysis
interview
Questionnaire administered where the respondents are
required to judge the information given in the
questionnaire
The questionnaire lists the job information such as;
Activities, tasks, tools equipment used to perform the
job, working conditions, KSA’s
The purpose of the study is to obtain current information on your job based on a review of job duties and
responsibilities.
Because you know your duties and responsibilities better than anyone else, we need your help to get an
accurate description of your job. We are asking you to complete this questionnaire that asks for
information about your job duties. The questionnaire does not ask about your job performance; only what
your job requires you to do.
Please complete this questionnaire as honestly, completely and accurately as you can. Base your
answers on what is normal to your current job, not special projects or temporary assignment duties,
unless these tasks are a regular part of your job. This questionnaire needs to cover many jobs, so the
questions are not specifically about your job. However, you should be able to compare your job duties to
the examples given. If two answers seem to fit your situation, just check the one that works best. When
answering the questions, imagine you are describing what you do to a neighbor, friend or to someone just
hired for your position.
Your supervisor and manager will also be asked about your job, but they will not be allowed to change
your answers. We appreciate your active participation in this important study. If you have questions,
please feel free to ask your supervisor or division administrator.
How long have you been in your current position: years months

Originally developed to gather information to
determine the training needs and develop performance
appraisal forms.
Process is designed to generate a list of especially
good and poor ( critical) examples of performance
( incidents).
Gathers information about the specific behaviours that
actually have been observed , not to gather
judgemental or trait oriented descriptions of
performance.
These behaviours are grouped in to job dimensions.
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Each critical incidents consists of
A) Description of a situation
B) The effective or ineffective behaviour performed by

FUNCTIONAL JOB ANALYSIS (FJA)
Developed by the U.S. Training and Employment Service,
the functional job analysis (FJA) approach utilizes an
inventory of the various types of functions or work activities
that can constitute any job.
FJA thus assumes that each job involves performing certain
functions.
Functional job analysis (FJA): Quantitative approach to job
analysis that utilizes a compiled inventory of the various
functions or work activities that can make up any job and
that assumes that each job involves three broad worker
functions:
(1) Data, (2) People, and (3) Things
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
FUNCTIONAL JOB ANALYSIS (FJA)
Defining and measuring the worker’s job activities.
Two types of job information is obtained ;
What worker does ? Procedures and processes engaged by the
work when task is performed
How task is performed in the context of physical, mental and
interpersonal involvement of the worker.
Method :
Proper development of task situations
Rating by a job analyst
Ratings are the basis for inferring the worker specifications
required for task performance.

JOB ELEMENT METHOD (JEM)
Developed by the U.S. Civil Service Commission in the
1950s (Ernest Primoff)
The JEM of job analysis focuses on the human attributes
necessary for superior performance on the job
JEM focuses on work behaviours and the results of this
behaviour rather than more abstract characteristics.
An element in JEM is a combination of behaviours and
associated evidences.
Elements are named through terms commonly used in the
workplace
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Elements cover a broad range of behaviours, including
cognitive, psychomotor, and work habits.
Cognitive elements include such items as recognizing tools
and their uses, reading blueprints, and computing means
and standard deviations
The psychomotor elements include the ability to sense and
perceive (for example, colour, vision) and to carry out
simple to complex motor actions, such as operating an
electric drill or a chisel or piloting a jet fighter.
Work habits refer to collections of behaviours that are more
motivational in character like; willingness to take on extra
work or willingness to make sure that the work is done
perfectly, without error
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Job Element or Sub element
Office Manager
Ability to gain conformance
Ability to apply procedures
Ability to meet deadlines
Police Officer
Have good physical coordination
No fear of firearms
Ability to recall facts
Electrician
Understanding of theory and instruments
Understand ammeter, voltmeter Knowledge of shop.

Ability to manage the program
Ability to coordinate the program
Ability to distinguish the program
Ability to operate under pressure
Ability and willingness to delegate
Leadership
Ability to get the things done through others
Self motivation
Ability to handle controversial issues
Honesty and integrity
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Job elements are rated on the following criteria:
Job Element Method rating scales
Barely acceptable worker: must an incumbent
possess the element to be barely acceptable?
Superior Worker: Does the element distinguish
super workers from those less capable
Trouble Likely if the element is ignored
Practical to Expect: is it practical to expect
candidates to possess the element?
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Choosing the best method
Currently operational : Has the method been tested and
refined so that it is now operational and ready for use.
Off the shelf availability : Is the data collection
instrument to be used ready made or must it first be
designed and constructed.
Occupational Versatility : To what extent can the
method be applied to wide variety of jobs.
Standardisation : Are the procedures used with the
method structured so that the data collected from
different sources at different times can be compared.
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Respondent acceptability : To what extent the method
is acceptable to respondent.
Required amount of job analyst training : How much
training must a job analyst receive in order to apply
the method correctly.
Sample size : How many respondents are required
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Suitability for criterion related validity : Will the
method support the requirements for establishing the
criterion related validity of measure.
Reliability : Will the method provide consistent,
dependable result ?
Utility in developing selection measures : how useful
is the procedure in developing selection measures for a
particular job.
Cost : What is the estimated cost of the method?
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
Choosing the best method
How the job information is used ?
If simple- interview technique.
If job analysis used for more than one purpose
ranging from job classification to appraisal then;
Task analysis inventory.
Generally preferred methods:
PAQ – Less favoured
Critical incidents
JEM- more favoured
Task analysis.
Dr.Prakash S Alalageri-B.I.E.T-MBA-2019
