Job A job may be defined as a “collection or aggregation of tasks, duties and responsibilities which as a whole, are regarded as a regular assignment to individual employees”.
![Page 4: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Job
In other words, when the total work to be done is divided and grouped into packages, we call it a “Job”.
![Page 5: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
JobEach job has a definite title based upon standardized trade specifications within a job; two or more grades may be identified, where the work assignments may be graded according to skill, the difficulty in doing them, or the quality of workmanship. Further, a job may include many positions, for a position is a job performed by, related to, a particular employee.

What is job analysis?
The documentation of the major responsibilities, duties, and tasks of a job, as well as the kinds of knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the job.A systematic approach to collect information about a job such as tasks, responsibilities and the skills required to perform those tasksAn important part of Human Resources (HR) planning
![Page 7: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Job Analysis
It is a systematic analysis of each job for the purpose of collecting information as to what the job holder does, under what circumstances it is performed and what qualifications are required for doing the job.
![Page 8: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Definitions of Job AnalysisEdwin Flippo: “Job analysis is the process
of studying and collecting information relating to the operations and responsibility of a specific job”.
![Page 9: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Defining “responsibilities”, “duties”, and “tasks”.
Responsibility The major groupings of activities (i.e., duties) performed in a
job.
Duty Clusters of specific actions (i.e., tasks) with a common
purpose used to carryout each major responsibility.
Task A specific action taken for a specific purpose.
![Page 10: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Techniques of Job Analysis Data
Personal observation
Sending out questionnaires
Maintenance of log records
Conducting personal interviews
![Page 20: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Who does the job analysis?
HR staff or outside consultants guide the job analysis process, including (a) questionnaire design, (b) collecting the information, and (c) documenting information.
Employees who perform the jobs and their supervisors provide the information and are often referred to as “Subject Matter Experts” (SMEs).
![Page 21: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What methods are used to collect job information?
Observation – Good for (a) simple jobs that are not too complicated and (b) jobs that involve physical manipulation of tools, equipment, etc.
Interview – Good when (a) job duties take place over different periods of time (impractical to observe) and (b) jobs are complex and require detailed explanations by the SMEs.
Employee Diary – Good when (a) job duties take place over different periods of time and (b) it is difficult to schedule interviews with employees.
Questionnaire – Good for (a) insuring uniformity of the information collected for different jobs and (b) insuring completeness of the information gathered.
![Page 22: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Data collection methods
Interviews Questionnaires Job performance Observation Diaries Critical incidents Focus groups HR records
![Page 23: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Should a qualitative or quantitative approach be used?
1. Open Ended Questionnaires.
Provides full and detailed information needed to construct Job Descriptions.
2. Quantitative Questionnaires.
Provide scores for jobs on a set of work-skill characteristics – like those in Figure 2.4 and 2.5.
![Page 24: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Examples of Quantitative Questionnaires
Task Checklist or Inventory – Used when there are a large number of employees in a given job distributed many geographical locations.
Goal is to determine the typical duties and tasks being performed for (a) developing a generic job description and/or (b) placing jobs into a classification system based on the employee task ratings .
![Page 25: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Examples of Quantitative Questionnaires
Functional Job Analysis (FJA) –
Used by the Office of Personnel Management in the federal government to score jobs and place them into job families for testing and training decisions.
The FJA measures three primary characteristics of work – People, Data, and Things.
![Page 26: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Examples of Quantitative Questionnaires
Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) –
Used to score jobs and group them into job families for testing, training, compensation, and legal decisions – such as classification of jobs into Exempt and Non-Exempt categories under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
![Page 27: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Job Description
The preparation of job description is necessary before a vacancy is advertised. It tells in brief the nature of a job. In other words, it emphasizes the job requirements.
![Page 30: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Definition of Job Description
Edwin Flippo: “Job Description is an organized factual statement of the duties and responsibilities of a specific job. It should tell what is to be done, how it is done and why.”
![Page 31: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Job description problems
Often poorly written Static rather than dynamic – not updated as job duties change discriminatory Tasks not directly work-related Vague rather than specific
![Page 38: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Job Specification Job specification is based on job description. It is a written statement of qualifications, traits, physical and mental characteristics that an individual must possess to perform the job duties and discharge responsibilities effectively.
![Page 39: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Person specificationDetails the qualifications, experience and personal qualities required of suitable job-holders
States minimum acceptable qualification that incumbent must posses to perform the job satisfactorily such as educational qualifications, job related experience, knowledge skills and abilities needed to do the job effectively.
It tells what kind of person to recruit . It is important selectiontool

Job Design
Job design is defined by Michael Armstrong, “as the process of deciding on the content of a job in terms of its duties and responsibilities; on the methods to be used in carrying out the job, in terms of techniques, systems and procedures and on the relationships that should exist between the job holder and his superiors, subordinates and colleagues”.
![Page 45: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
JOB DESIGNJob design integrates work content ( tasks, functions, relationships the rewards ( extrinsic and intrinsic) and the qualifications rquired ( skills, knowledge, abilities ) for each job in a way that meets the needs of employees and the organisation
![Page 46: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Job DesignIbid, “Job Design is the process of deciding on the contents of a job in terms of its duties and responsibilities, on the methods to be used in carrying out the job, in term of techniques, systems and procedures and on the relationships that should exist between the jobholder and his superiors, subordinates and colleagues”.
![Page 47: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Two important goals of job design
To meet the organizational requirements such as higher productivity, operational efficiency, quality of product/service etc. and
To satisfy the needs of the individual employees like interests, challenges, achievement or accomplishment, etc.
![Page 48: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Poorly designed jobs often result in Boredom Increased turnoverReduced motivationLow levels of job satisfaction Less than optimal productivity Increase in organizational costsAccidents
![Page 49: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

![Page 51: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Work SimplificationFor very specialised jobs.
Complete job is broken down into small subparts
Well trained and less paid employees can do the jobs or it can be done simultaneously.
![Page 52: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Job Simplification This requires that jobs be broken down into their smallest units and then analyzed. Each resulting subunit typically consists of relatively few operations. These subunits are then assigned to workers as their total job. This is done so that employees can do these jobs without much specialized training. Many small jobs can also be performed simultaneously, so that the complete operation can be done more quickly. Time and motion studies are often used for work simplification
![Page 53: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Advantages of Job Simplification
•Requires less training•Less costly unskilled labour• Increase in speed
![Page 54: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Job Enlargement: (Horizontal) It involves the addition to or expansion of tasks in the job and job becomes a meaningful operation.( opposite of simplification)
It is the strategy adopted by many organizations to combat the ill-effects of division of labour.
Its focus is on enlarging the contents of jobs by adding tasks and responsibilities.
![Page 55: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Job EnlargementIt involves expansion of the scope and width of
the job by means of assigning certain closely related operations.
E.g. a clerk in an office doing typing work may be also assigned tasks of drafting simple letters, sorting mail and filling of papers. This will reduce his boredom and make him satisfied with the job. His efficiency will also improve.
![Page 56: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
It Suggests thatEmployee are given complete jobEnvironment is created in which employee are able not only to get involved actively but also participate in planningMotivates employees to make job interesting and challengingIncreases efficiency and reduces fatigueNumber and variety of jobs to perform
![Page 57: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

In this case meaning full component is done by one person.
Hence reduces the boredom and give more meaning to work
![Page 59: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Job Enrichment: (Vertical) It is a direct outgrowth of Herzberg’s Two Factor
Theory of Motivation.
It is therefore based on the assumption that in order to motivate personnel, the job itself must provide opportunities for achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement and growth.
![Page 60: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Job EnrichmentIt involves the vertical expansion of jobs by increasing the amount of worker responsibilities associated with the positions.
E.g. a worker who previously only loaded boxes for delivery into a trailer may be given the responsibility of verifying that the customer order is correct.
![Page 61: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Job EnrichmentThrough job enrichment, autonomy, responsibility and control becomes part of a worker’s job.
This in turn leads to greater feelings of satisfaction, higher motivation and increased productivity.

Job Rotation This refers to the movement of an employee from one job to the another over a designated period of time.
Jobs themselves are not actually changed, only the employees are rotated among various jobs.
An employee who works on another job for some days or months and returns back to the first job.

Job RotationThis would relieve the employee from boredom
and monotony, improves the employee’s skills regarding various jobs and prepares the employee to meet the contingencies.
This is also intended to improve worker’s self-image and provides personal growth.

Job Rotation
However, job rotation can have a very limited potential. It does not change the basic nature of jobs. Rather an employee is asked to perform several monotonous jobs in place of a single job. Therefore, the employees who want a challenging and satisfying job still feel frustrated. Moreover, frequent rotation of employees may cause interruptions in the work routine of the organization.

Scientific Management Approach
The earliest approach to job design is the rational approach or industrial engineering approach propounded by F. W. Taylor, the father of Scientific Management.
![Page 69: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Scientific Management Approach
• The standardization of jobs into the single best way by which they can be performed.
• The training of workers in the single best way to perform the job.
• The specialization of labour leading to expertise in small narrow jobs.
• The systematic and specific determination of job description for each job.
• Monetary compensation should be used to reward successful performance of the job.
![Page 70: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Behavioural Approach During 1950s, Herzberg’s research popularized the
notion of enhancing need satisfaction through what is called job enrichment.
There are many different approaches to job enrichment, yet all of them attempt to help the job incumbent satisfy personal needs while performing the job.
![Page 71: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Behavioural ApproachOne widely publicized approach to job enrichment uses the “Job Characteristics Model”. This model is based on the view that three key psychological states of a job incumbent affect motivation and satisfaction of the job.
![Page 72: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The three states are • Experienced meaningfulness –
worth of the work• Experienced responsibility• Knowledge of results –
Understanding how effectively he/she is performing the job
![Page 73: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
The more these three states are experienced, the more job incumbent will feel internal work motivation.
![Page 74: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Socio-Technical System Approach
This approach calls for the decision of work systems that would foster a meshing of the technical and social aspects of jobs. In order to create jobs, which have this supportive relationship, work teams, not individual jobs, must be studied. Job design through socio-technical approach requires the combined efforts of employees, supervisors and union representatives in analyzing significant job operations.
![Page 75: 5 job analysis.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5448e673b1af9ff2128b45a6/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Socio-Technical System Approach
The major thrust of the socio-technical approach to job design is that both the technical system and the accompanying social system should be considered when designing jobs.
According to this concept, jobs should be designed by taking a “holistic” or “systems” view of the entire job situation, including its physical and social environment.
