INTRODUCTION
JOB ANALYSIS
It is a procedure by which pertinent information is obtained about a job ,i.e., it is a detailed and
systematic study of information relating to the operations and responsibilities of a specific job.
An authority has defined job analysis as “the process of determining, by observation and study,
and reporting pertinent information relating to the nature of the specific job. It is the
determination of the tasks which comprise the job and of the skills, knowledge, abilities and
responsibilities required of the worker for a successful performance and which differentiate one
job from all other”.
Job Analysis is a procedure and a tool for determining the specified tasks, operations and
requirements of each job.” it is the process of getting information about jobs: specially, what the
worker does ;how he gets it done; why he does it; skill; education and training required;
relationship to other jobs; physical demands; environmental conditions”. In other words ,it refers
to the anatomy of the job. It is a complete study of job, embodying every known and
determinable factor, including the duties and responsibilities involved in its performance, the
conditions under which the performance is carried on, the nature of the task. The qualities
requires in the worker, and such conditions of employment as pay, hour, opportunities and
privileges. It also emphasis the relation of one job to others in the organization.
PURPOSE OF JOB ANALYSIS
Job Analysis is useful for overall management of all personal activities. While this is a
generalized statement, it is important to specify the uses of job analysis.
Job related data obtained from a job analysis programme are useful in HRP, employee hiring,
training, job evaluation, compensation, performance appraisal, computerized personnel
information systems, and safety and health. Each of these applications of job analysis is
described in brief here. They will however be explained in greater detail in subsequent chapters.
HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING: It determines as to how many and what type of personnel
will be needed in the near future. The number and the type of personnel are determined by the
jobs which need to be staffed. Job-related information is, therefore, necessary for HRP.
Similarly, selecting a qualified person to fill a job requires knowing clearly the work to be done
and the qualifications needed for someone to perform the work satisfactorily. Without a clear
and precise understanding of what a job entails, the HR manager cannot effectively select
someone to do the job.
The objective of employee hiring is to match the right people with the right jobs. The objective is
too difficult to achieve without having adequate job information.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:- Job analysis is useful for an HRD manager in as much as
it helps him/her know what a given job demands from the incumbent in term of knowledge and
skills. Training and development programmes can be designed on the job requirements. Selection
of trainees is also facilitated by job analysis.
JOB EVALUATION:-Job evaluation involves determination of relative worth of each job for the
purpose of establishing wage and salary differentials. Relative worth is determined mainly on the
basis of job description and job specification.
REMUNERATION:- Job evaluation helps determine wage and salary grades for all jobs.
Employees need to be compensated depending on the grades of the jobs which they occupy.
Remuneration also involves fringe benefits , bonus and other benefits. Clearly, remuneration
must be based on the relative worth of each job .Ignoring this basic principle results in
inequitable compensation. A perception of inequity is a sure way of demotivating an employee.
SAFETY AND HEALTH:- The process of conducting a detailed job analysis provides an
excellent opportunity to uncover and identify hazardous conditions and unhealthy environmental
factors(such as heat, noise, fumes, and dust)so that
corrective measures can be taken to minimize and avoid the possibility of human injury.
PROCESS OF JOB ANALYSIS:-
Job analysis is useful for several purposes, such as personnel planning, performance appraisal,
and the like. Each phase in the process of job analysis is explained in the paragraphs that follow.
JOB SPECIFICATION
STRATEGIC CHOICES:-
With regard to job analysis, an organization is required to make at least five choices;
INFORMATION GATHERING:-
So far as the type of data to be collected, it may be stated that all details about the jobs need to be
gathered. The type of data, however, depends on the end use of the information, as also on the
time and budget constraints.
With regard to the methods for data collection, there are several of them, but the more prominent
of them are-
i. Observation
ii. Interview
iii. Questionnaire
iv. Checklists
v. Technical conference
vi. Diary methods
Each of these alternatives has its own merits and demerits. Trained analysts, for example, will
lend objectivity and standardization to the data collected but they , implicitly, mean outflow of
money. Supervisors and job holders provide information with no extra cost, but the data may not
be objective and standardized. It may be stated that the individuals who collect job related data
determine the accuracy , speed and cost of information.
The selection of a particular method of collecting job-analysis information and of the person(s)
to be involved depends on two important factors
With regard to the purpose of job analysis, it may be sated the programme is useful in overall
PM/HRM. Specifically, job analysis , as stated earlier, provides information to develop job
descriptions and job specifications, and to conduct job evaluations. These, in turn, are useful in
helping managers identify the kinds of individual they should recruit ,select, and develop, as well
as providing guidance for decision about training and career development, performance
appraisal, and wage and salary administration.
Speaking about the status of the job analysis programme ,there are two possibilities. First, a
given company may not have such programme. Two , the firm may have a well-established job-
analysis programme. When the programme is non-existent, the company must appoint a
consultant who will select a method for data collection, supervise its administration and analyse
the information, and write the job description and specifications.
For organizations with a well established job analysis programme, it should be remembered that
job-analysis information provides only a snapshot of a particular job. Jobs change over a period
of time due to technological innovations, organizational restructuring and changes in products,
among other reasons. Thus, well-administered job analysis programmes provide a built in system
for periodically reassessing jobs. This reassessment may be done, expeditiously, through
observations, interviews, or by keeping the programme up-to-date is a much less expensive and
less time-consuming endeavour.
INFORMATION PROCESSING
Once the job information has been collected, it needs to be processed, so that it would be useful
in various personnel functions. Specifically, job related data would be useful to prepare job
description and job specification.
JOB DESCRIPTION DESCRIBES JOBS NOT “JOB HOLDERS”
Human Resource management includes a variety of activities’ , and key among them is deciding
what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to
fill these needs ,recruiting and training the best employees ,ensuring they are high performers
,dealing with performers issues and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform
to various regulations .A task is a typically defined as a unit of work, that is ,a set of activities
needed to produce some result. Complex positions in the organization may include a large
number of tasks, which are sometimes referred to as functions.
Job Description are lists of the general tasks .or functions, and responsibilities of a position.
Typically, they also include to whom the position reports , specifications such as the
qualifications needed by the person in the job, salary range for the position, etc in order to
convert the ideas into a practical working reality. There is a need to develop a job description and
person specification. This will help in gathering all the necessary information needed to recruit to
the post. It will also help to identify and clarify any uncertainities and ambiguities about the new
job role and its place in the team.
The Job description is a practical, relatively simple tool that supports personnel management and
employee communications everyday. Written Job Descriptions are helpful particularly in:
Recruitment:- Job announcements based on written descriptions that clearly outline functions
and requirements give potential candidates a reasonable basis for deciding whether or not to
apply,and they tend to attract a more suitable pool.
Selection and hiring:- In identifying the abilities and knowledge needed to perform a job, the job
descriptions help supervisors and others who hire to focus on job relevant criteria when choosing
from the applicants.
Wage and Salary Administration:- Setting a pay rate in relation to other jobs within the company
and similar jobs in other companies requires more of a basis for comparison than job title alone.
The job description provides it.
Orientation:-Guided by a job description, supervisors can better anticipate what employees new
to the company or the job need to know and help them minimize
adjustment time. Employees can learn about their responsibilities both directly from a written
description and by asking questions when reading the description.
Performance appraisal and employee development:- The statement of duties in a job description
is the foundation for evaluating employees with respect to actual performance dimensions rather
than personal attributes or traits. It puts the discussion of an employee’s capabilities, talents,
strengths, deficiencies, and advancement aspirations into the current job and other opportunities
within the company. Job description may also be used to inform employees of typical
promotional sequence and requirements.
A Job Description outlines the responsibilities and functions that are assigned to a particular
position or role. In fact it provides clarity about what an employee is supposed to do.”For
employers, Job Description establishes wages, salary ranges and grades and promotes a process
driven culture. For employees ,Job Description are useful to gain in equity in compensation and a
way to be reassured that there are no discriminatory pay policies in the company ,”says Jude
Coelho, executive vice president, human resources, Cranes software International. A good Job
Description not only defines the roles but responsibilities as well. Anshuman ray, HR Country
Manager, Synopsys India adds,”it also an interface of the job with internal and external
customers, reporting relationship and challenges that the job offers. It provides a sense of how
much impact the job can make by providing ‘a degree of accountability’ as much as it attempts
to align the job with the overall business group charter.”
Job Description plays a pivotal role and this is leveraged by most of the core HR systems .It is
used for recruitment and selection, career mapping or pathing, training and development,
performance management, organization design, compensation and benefits and manpower
planning. The fact that it provides an overview of scope and responsibility of the job and maps
the skills or competencies makes it a handy tool.
Job profile is an integral part of the recruitment process. It can be used to obtain employee
ownership and support for the position and to trace the parameters of the skills and abilities
sought for the position. Clearly defined Job description can help companies make wise hiring
decisions. Hiring the best can be facilitated through Job description since it is a tool to access the
best fit. Wrong fit will impact the organization adversely and the fallout is that it hits key metrics
around productivity and retention. Right Job description gets the right talent. Employees are able
to clearly understand and deliver, thus impacting overall productivity levels. Job Description also
ensures that an organization does not dilute its standards or competency levels, which is
important for processing the spirit of meritocracy.
BARRIERS TO JOB DESCRIPTION
A common objection to the use of written job description from concern about losing flexibility to
manage, especially when technology or other conditions are changing.
Understandably, employers do not want their much written words to restrict their right to
direct what workers do o the job or how they do it. The legendry, “that’s not in my job
description,’ however, need not to be a problem to any employer making reasonable
assignments to workers.
In fact the employee who does not have a written Job description may be more likely to
feel that a supervisor’s directive is overstepping rightful bounds.
Finally, and perhaps most typically, many employers do not use written job description
because the task of developing them looms too large or uncertain.
Job description should be reliable, valid, understandable, and specific enough to provide
direction for staff behavior .Job description should focus on what the staff member does.
