Document Summary
The data generated by job analyses have significant use in nearly every phase of hr administration: designing jobs and reward systems; staffing and training; performance control and more. Job analysis: systematic study of a job to discover its specifications, skill requirements, and so on, for wage-setting, recruitment, training, or job-design purposes. If jobs are not well designed or done right, productivity suffers, profits fall, and the organization is less able to meet the demands of society customers, employees and other stakeholders. A job consists of a group of related activities and duties that may be held by a single employee or several persons; a position is a collection of tasks and responsibilities performed by an individual employee. With hundreds (or even thousands) of positions it is nearly impossible for hr professionals in larger companies to know the details of every one.
