Job analysis is the process of identifying the tasks, skills, abilities, and other requirements of a job. It involves observing jobs and collecting data through interviews, questionnaires, checklists and other methods. The major goals of job analysis include evaluating how environmental changes affect jobs, identifying unnecessary job requirements, discovering elements that impact employee well-being, and planning future human resource needs. Job analysis has two main dimensions - job descriptions, which outline the title, duties, equipment and other job details, and job specifications, which define the qualifications and characteristics necessary to perform the job. The results of job analysis are used for activities such as matching applicants to jobs, training employees, performance reviews, and fair compensation.
