Job Analysis

Organizations consist of positions that have to be staffed. Job analysis is the procedure through which you determine the duties of these positions and the characteristics of the people to hire for them. Job analysis produces information used for writing job description and job specification.

            The supervisor or HR specialist normally collects one or more of the following types of information via the job analysis:

1.     Work activities

2.     Human behaviors

3.     Machines, tools, equipment, and work aids

4.     Performance standarts

5.     Job context

6.     Human requirements
