a. Job Analysis: Most Common Methods of JobAnalysis
- Observation Method: A job analyst observes anemployee and records all his performed and non-performed task, fulfilledand un-fulfilled responsibilities and duties, methods, ways and skillsused by him or her to perform various duties and his or her mental oremotional ability to handle challenges and risks. However, it seems one ofthe easiest methods to analyze a specific job but truth is that it is themost difficult one. Why? Let’s Discover.
It is due to the fact that every person hashis own way of observing things. Different people think different and interpretthe findings in different ways. Therefore, the process may involve personalbiasness or likes and dislikes and may not produce genuine results. This errorcan be avoided by proper training of job analyst or whoever will be conductingthe job analysis process.
This particular method includes threetechniques: direct observation, Work Methods Analysis and Critical IncidentTechnique. The first method includes direct observation and recording ofbehaviour of an employee in different situations. The second involves the studyof time and motion and is specially used for assembly-line or factory workers.The third one is about identifying the work behaviours that result inperformance.
- Interview Method: In this method, an employee isinterviewed so that he or she comes up with their own working styles,problems faced by them, use of particular skills and techniques whileperforming their job and insecurities and fears about their careers.
This method helps interviewer know whatexactly an employee thinks about his or her own job and responsibilitiesinvolved in it. It involves analysis of job by employee himself. In order togenerate honest and true feedback or collect genuine data, questions askedduring the interview should be carefully decided. And to avoid errors, it isalways good to interview more than one individual to get a pool of responses.Then it can be generalized and used for the whole group.
- Questionnaire Method: Another commonly used jobanalysis method is getting the questionnaires filled from employees, theirsuperiors and managers. However, this method also suffers from personalbiasness. A great care should be takes while framing questions fordifferent grades of employees.
In order to get the true job-related info,management should effectively communicate it to the staff that data collectedwill be used for their own good. It is very important to ensure them that itwon’t be used against them in anyway. If it is not done properly, it will be asheer wastage of time, money and human resources.
b. Jobdescription: A broad, general, and written statement of a specific job, based on the findings of a job analysis. It generally includes duties, purpose, responsibilities, scope, and working conditions of a job along with the job’stitle, and the name or designation of the person to whom the employeereports. Job description usually forms the basis of job specification.
