Study Notes
-
Job analysis methods include self-reports, direct observations, and interviews.
-
Self-reports are limited as they may not accurately represent the job and do not provide information about job requirements or performance levels.
-
Direct observations are best for jobs with obvious physical activity but provide little data for cognitive jobs.
-
Interviews are the most widely used approach for job analysis, conducted by skilled interviewers, involving multiple sources including incumbents, supervisors, and subject-matter experts.
-
Individual interviews are unstructured in the initial phase, becoming more structured as understanding of the job grows.
-
Group interviews, using the focus group method, involve a mixed group of incumbents, supervisors, and SMEs to gain diverse perspectives on the job.
-
Group interviews must be introduced carefully to ensure confidentiality and non-judgmental atmosphere, with the HR professional leading the discussion and recording task descriptions and job requirements.
-
The intent of group interviews is to generate a detailed description of the job content and identify the requirements for job performance.
-
Group interviews may focus on workflow or organization of individual workers to understand the tasks involved and how they produce work products.
-
The assembler and surgeon require various eye-hand coordination and finger dexterity for their jobs.
-
Skills and knowledge are necessary for job performance, but intangible personal/interpersonal characteristics, such as decisiveness and meticulousness, are also important.
-
The KSA (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities) model is widely used for job analysis, but some experts add "Other" (personal/interpersonal characteristics) for a more comprehensive approach.
-
The term "competencies" is proposed as a substitute for "abilities" and "other" factors in job analysis.
-
Technical requirements and personal/interpersonal requirements are separated in job analysis.
-
Job performance requirements must be set appropriately based on the purpose of the analysis and the experience level of potential employees.

-
Job specification is a statement of required employee qualifications for satisfactory performance of a job, derived from job analysis.
-
Job specification lists knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed for job performance, including education, experience, work skills, personal abilities, and mental and physical requirements.
-
Experience: required number of years of experience for the position and in the industry, progressively more complex and responsible experience, and supervisory or managerial experience.

Employee specification is derived from job specification and identifies the desired candidate profile.
-
Job analysis data can be collected using five methods: self-reports (incumbents or job analysts), direct observations, interviews, document reviews, and questionnaires and surveys.
-

-
Data collection should consider the purpose and context of the job analysis, and all methods can be used by internal HR staff or external consultants.
