KEY ELEMENTS OF A JOB DESCRIPTION

JOB ANALYSIS IN A WORKER-EMPOWERED WORLD

Why Use Competency Analysis? Support HPWS

Traditional job descriptions (with their lists of specific duties) may actually backfire if a high-performance work system is the goal.

HPWS encourages employees to work in a self-motivated manner.
