Using a job analysis questionnaire can simplify the task for those providing job information and the job analyst's task as well.

There are three different approaches to using a job analysis questionnaire.

In producing a custom-designed questionnaire, the HR professional responsible for the job analysis must develop the questionnaire using information typically obtained individually from the job incumbent, his or her supervisor, other SMEs, and whatever other data sets are available.

Commercially available questionnaires are the only option for utilizing a job analysis questionnaire.

Job analysis is only necessary for creating accurate job descriptions, not for understanding existing jobs.

Multiple raters with diverse backgrounds and experience are not necessary for a competent job analysis.

Data from job analysis inventories should not be closely examined for significant discrepancies.

Seasonality and job modifications over time do not influence job analysis and job descriptions.

Job design methods include 'design for efficiency,' 'design for motivation,' 'design for safety and health,' and 'design for mental capacity.'

Design for efficiency focuses on reliable technology and proficiency in its use.

Design for motivation involves reducing duties for less responsibility and accountability.

Design for safety and health does not address unfavorable conditions that may cause harm to employees.

Design for mental capacity addresses the needs of individuals with disabilities or elderly workers.

The ideal in job design is always attainable.

There are five common approaches to job design based on dimensions.

Job design for efficiency, job design for motivation, job design for safety and health, job design for mental capacity, and comparative framework are the five common approaches to job design.

Job sharing is a type of flexible work arrangement where one person works part-time to complete the work of a single full-time job.

Job enrichment originated at International Business Machines (IBM) in the 1940s.

The 'twins model' in job sharing involves employees working independently of one another on different tasks.

Job sharing can help employers retain experienced workers who are looking for greater work-life balance.

The 'island model' in job sharing allows employers to have two employees with two different specialties at little added expense.

Job sharing cannot be combined with mentoring.

Older employees who want to reduce their hours are not prime candidates for job sharing.

Job sharing can lead to better work-life balance and higher job satisfaction.

Job sharing is particularly helpful if one partner has to take leave or is on vacation.

Job sharing employees in the 'island model' work together on the same projects seamlessly.

Job sharing can decrease benefits costs for employers, depending on their benefits policies.

Flexible work arrangements like job sharing do not have any benefits for employers.

Traditional job rotation involves moving employees from one routine job to another, typically with minimal impact and complexity

Job engineering focuses on the tasks to be performed, methods used, workflows, layout of the workplace, and interdependencies between people and machines

Job sharing cannot be combined with mentoring

Job enlargement may require greater attention and concentration, leading to a more interesting or challenging job for some, but negatively impacting others

Job Engineering was established in the late twentieth century

Job rotation can be beneficial when it is part of a larger job redesign effort, used as a training and development approach, or used to address repetitive stress injuries

Job enlargement is more responsive to employees' higher-level needs and can have positive effects on employee effectiveness

Specialization of labor is a key goal of job engineering

Job sharing is a type of flexible work arrangement in which two people work full-time schedules to complete the work of a single full-time job.

Job enrichment refers to the disempowerment of employees to assume more responsibility and accountability for planning, organizing, performing, controlling, and evaluating their own work.

The job enrichment approach originated at International Business Machines (IBM) in the 1940s.

The 'twins model' in job sharing involves the job sharing employees working independently on different tasks.

Job sharing can decrease benefits costs for employers, regardless of their benefits policies.

Job sharing can be combined with mentoring, allowing older employees to mentor and pass on institutional knowledge to their less-experienced colleagues.

Job sharing is particularly helpful if one job sharing partner has to take leave or is on vacation, as the position is left uncovered.

The 'island model' in job sharing allows employers to have two employees with two different specialties at little added expense.

Job enrichment primarily focuses on reducing work-life balance and job satisfaction.

Job engineering primarily focuses on the interdependencies between people and machines.
