4. Select job agents, such as incumbents, supervisors

or job analysts.

5. Collect job information through interviews,questionnaires and observations

6 Create a ob descri tion that identifies skills effort.   ,

responsibilities and working conditions of the job.

7. Creating Job Specifications. The final step uses

Job specifications identify the knowledge, skills,

and abilities that workers need in order to perform

the tasks listed in the job description.

ObservationObservation

Directly observe job incumbents performing the job

duties, work sample or job segments.

Can also be observed indirectly via video or

audiotape: Hazardous jobs (airline pilot, surgeon, construction).

High-risk jobs (nuclear power plant).

Best when job/task is repetitive and short cycle.

Good for manual jobs and tasks.

Often insufficient if used alone

Not good for nonrepetitive, long-cycle jobs and

tasks.

Not good for creative or “thinking” jobs and tasks.

Work SampleWork Sample

Observe samples of critical job tasks.

Best when job or task is repetitive and short

cycle.

Good for manual jobs and tasks.

Not good for nonrepetitive, long-cycle jobs andtasks.

Not good for creative or “thinking” jobs and tasks.

Choosing the “right” or most representative tasks:

Scientifically sample the job tasks to choose appropriate

tasks.

Job Analysis and the LawJob Analysis and the Law

Job Analysis and the Americans with Disabilities

 Act (ADA)

To comply with the ADA, an employer must

distinguish between essential and nonessential job

functions.

Essential job functions are those that are central to job

performance. The job would not exist without those

essential job functions. Employers are required to

provide reasonable accommodations for an otherwise

qualified individual to perform the essential job functions.

Marginal job functions are duties that are part of the job

but are incidental or ancillary to the purpose and nature of

the job.

Job DesignJob Design

The process of job design focuses on

determining what tasks will be grouped

together to form employee jobs

grouping work tasks: mechanistic,

motivational, perceptual, and biological.

Perceptual ApproachPerceptual Approach

The basic objective of the perceptualapproach is to simplify mental demands onworkers and thereby decrease errors.

Safety and prevention of accidents arecritical.

The perceptual approach to job designusually results in work characterized bysequential processing and low autonomy.

Stewart, Human Resource Management, 2nd ed, 2011. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Biological ApproachBiological Approach

This approach is associated with ergonomics,

which concerns methods of designing work to

prevent physical injury.

Job tasks are assessed in terms of strength,

, .

Work processes are then designed to eliminate

movements that can lead to physical injury or

excessive fatigue.

The basic goal of the biological approach is to

eliminate discomfort and injury.
