      • Job Analysis is the process of determining and recording all the pertinent information about a specific job, including the tasks involved, the knowledge and skill set required to perform the job, the responsibilities attached to the job and the abilities required to perform the job successfully.
      • Job Analysis differentiates one job from another.

      • Two end products of Job Analysis are JOB DESCRIPTION and JOB SPECIFICATION.
      • Job Analysis provides inputs for:-
      • - Job Descriptions
        • Employee Selection
        • Training
        • Performance Appraisals
        • Job Classification
        • Job Evaluation
        • Job Design
    3. PROCESS OF JOB ANALYSIS
      • INFORMATION GATHERING
      • JOB-SPECIFIC COMPETENCY DETERMINATION
      • DEVELOPING A JOB DESCRIPTION
      • DEVELOPING A JOB SPECIFICATION
    4. JOB ANALYSIS METHODS
      • Observation Method
      • Interviews
      • Structured Questionnaire / Inventory
      • Logbooks / Work Diaries
      • 1. OBSERVATION METHOD :-

      • Eg: Motion and Time Studies
      • 2. INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW METHOD :-
      • Applied when the job is complex
      • Structured interviews are the most effective.
      • 3. GROUP INTERVIEW METHOD :-
      • Employees performing the same job are interviewed together, in groups
      • 4. QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD :-
      • Long & structured questionnaire to be filled in by job incumbent.
      • Has both objective & open-ended questions.
      • 5. TECHNICAL CONFERENCE METHOD :-
      • Gathering information from the EXPERTS, usually supervisors & NOT the job incumbents.
      • 6. DIARY METHOD :-
      • Job incumbents take immediate note of the activities they perform.
      • 7. FUNCTIONAL JOB ANALYSIS :-
      • Developed by U.S. Department of Labor.
      • Job analysts conducts background research, interviews job incumbents & supervisors, make site observations, & then prepares a detailed document.

    7. CONCEPT OF JOB DESIGN
      • Job design is the process of structuring work and designating the specific activities at individual or group levels.
      • It determines,
        • the responsibility of an employee
        • the authority he enjoys over his work
        • his scope of decision-making
        • his level of satisfaction
        • his productivity
      • Major components of job design are:
        • Job content / scope
          • Includes various tasks to be performed by the job holder, the responsibilities attached and the relationship with other jobs.
        • Job depth
          • It is the autonomy or the authority that the job holder enjoys in planning and organizing the work.
    8. DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO JOB DESIGN
      • Engineering approach:
        • The key element of the approach is “task idea”
        • Use of overspecialization
        • Demerits of overspecialization
          • Repetition
          • Mechanical pacing
          • No end product
          • Little social interaction
          • No personal input
      • Human relations approach:
        • Over-specialized jobs were redesigned to become more satisfying and rewarding to employees.--- human touch
        • It was felt that workers have social needs.
        • Theory of motivation proposed by Herzberg
          • Factors that affect job satisfaction – the motivators & the hygiene factors
          • Hygiene factors – prevents dissatisfaction among employees
              • Ex: working conditions, job security, more money
          • Motivators – helps motivating employees on the job
              • Ex: recognition, achievement, responsibility
      • Job characteristics approach
        • Based on job characteristics theory of Hackman and Oldham
          • The theory states that employees work hard when they are rewarded for their hard work.
        • Identifies specific job characteristics that affect productivity, motivation and satisfaction
        • Core characteristic of a job are:
          • Skill variety – the degree to which the job necessitates the use of different skills
          • Task identity – the degree to which the job requires completion of task
          • Task significance – the degree to which the job makes an impact on the lives or the work of the people
          • Autonomy – the degree to which the job provides freedom
          • Feedback – the degree to which objective, direct and timely information about performance is given to the employees
      • Skill variety, task identity & task significance gives job satisfaction
      • Autonomy gives sense of responsibility & commitment
      • Feedback enables to analyze performance
      • Motivating Potential Score (MPS) of a job =
      • ( skill variety + task identity + task significance )
      • 3
      • X autonomy X feedback
      • Sociotechnical approach
        • both technical and social environment are emphasized.
        • Jobs according to this approach are:
          • A little challenging and demanding
          • Variety and novelty
          • Social support and recognition
          • Desirable future
          • Decision-making authority
          • Correlation with social lives
    9. MODERN MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
      • Job Rotation
        • Job rotation enhances employee motivation by periodically assigning the employee to alternative jobs.
      • Job Enlargement
        • It involves assigning workers additional same-level activities, thus increasing the number of activities they perform.
      • Job Enrichment
        • The process of redesigning the job so as to increase both their scope and their depth.
        • Job holder has autonomy to plan, organize and control his job.
      • Flextime
        • It allows the employees to choose their working hours
      • Telecommuting
        • It is the practice of working at home or while traveling, keeping in contact with the office.
      • Job sharing
        • Two or more part-time employees share the work of a full-time employee.
      • Condensed work week
        • It involves compressing the work week by increasing the number of working hours per day.
