Job Analysis Process

According to Dessler, there are six steps in doing job analysis: 

1. Decide how you will use the information: it helps to determine the types of data and methods to collect.

2. Review relevant background information: such as organization chart, process chart & job description

3. Select representative positions: because there may be too many similar jobs to analyse. Eg. It is usually unnecessary to analyse the jobs of 200 assembly workers when a sample of 10 jobs will do.

4. Actually analyse the job: by collecting data on job activities, required employee behavior, working conditions and human traits and abilities needed to perform the job. Use one ore more methods and techniques of Job Analysis.

5. Verify the job analysis information: with job holder & immediate supervisor to confirm that informations is factually correct & complete.

6. Develop a job description and job specification
