Job design can
impact employee
performance.
There are some jobs where employee motivation
is a crucial factor to performance, and the right
motivation may be a result of good job design.

Job design can
affect job
satisfaction
Some workers are more satisfied when they
perform their jobs in a manner most convenient to
them.

A good job design
may help reduce
turnover and
absenteeism
A good job design may help reduce turnover and
absenteeism and these may be translated to a
reduced cost of staffing.

Improper designed jobs may result to problems
like loss of hearing, back pains, cramps, and the
like.
WHAT IS A JOB
• A job may be defined as a grouping of similar positions.
• A specific duty, role, or function. (Webster)
• A position is a collection of tasks, duties, and
responsibilities performed by a single person.
• A task is composed of motions and is a distinct
identifiable work activity.
• A duty is composed of several tasks and is a larger work
segment performed by an individual.
• Responsibilities are obligations to perform certain tasks
and duties.
What is a Job Design?
Job Design
• May be defined as an approach
that specifies the tasks that
constitute a job for an individual or
a group. The objective is to
develop requirements of the
organization and the technology
that satisfy the personal and
individual requirements of the
jobholder.
In designing jobs, the
following aspects must be
carefully considered.
Job specialization and
enrichment
Psychological components
Ergonomics and work
methods
Motivation and incentive
systems
Specialization
Specialization
An important consideration in designing jobs.
Specialization requires a worker to
concentrate on one particular type of work,
labor costs are reduced in several ways.
Because of it, high-speed and low-cost
production in factories and offices were made
possible.
• What do you think are some of
the advantage and disadvantages
in specialization?
Project Analysis
ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE
› Boosts productivity
› Finding a proper job
› Security in the job
› Helps employee become independent
› People will want you more and more
› You become more educated
› More opportunity to socialize
› Saves time
› Gets higher pay
› Accuracy in the job
› Become outdated after a point
› Masters one skill
› Omitted from all positions of managers
› Get monotonous
› Reduces sight
› Cannot go for breaks
› Stops you from multitasking
› Lacks variety
› Require training
› Leads to unemployment
•When jobs become routine, the worker
becomes more efficient. This happens as
he/she repeats what he/she does again
and again. Repetition, however, may take
its toll and the worker may be affected. To
counteract this possibility, two options
were developed: (1) job enlargement, and
(2) job enrichment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS
The content of the job
must be reasonably
demanding and must
provide some variety
The worker must be
provided with the
opportunity to learn on
the job and this must be
continuously provided.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS
The worker must be
allowed to have some
minimal area of
decision-making that
he can call his own.
The worker must be
provided with some
degree of social
support and
recognition
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS
The worker must be
allowed to relate his
social life on what
he produces.
The worker must be
made to feel that
performing his job
well leads to a
desirable future.
Ergonomics and Work Methods
According to BOSTONtec
Here are 10 impressive benefits of ergonomics in the workplace.
• Health benefits
• Improved productivity
• Improved mental clarity
• Decreased pains
• Eliminate hazards
• Quality of work improves
• Reduce absenteeism
• Focus on safety
• Increased employee satisfaction
• Lower insurance cost
WORK METHODS
• Some work methods are
superior than others. If one is
using an inferior work method, a
better one must be devised. This
can be achieved through
method analysis which focuses
on how a task is accomplished.
Methods Techniques Purpose
Flow diagrams/ flow process
charts
To analyze movement of
individuals and material
Activity chart To analyze activity of
humans and machines and
crew activity
Micro-motion charts To analyze body movement
Exhibit 1: Methods techniques and uses
•Other examples are Flex-
Time (Flexi-Time) Work
Schedule, Compressed
Workweeks, and Part-time
Employment
WHAT IS JOB ANALYSIS?
WHAT ARE ITS USES?
JOB ANALYSIS
• May be defined as a
systematic investigation of the
tasks, duties, and
responsibilities required in a
job, and the necessary skills,
knowledge, and abilities
someone needs to perform
the job adequately.
• Job definition
• Job redesign
• Recruitment
• Selection and placement
• Orientation
• Training
• Career counseling
• Employee safety
• Performance safety
• Compensation
• Defining a job through a description
of duties and responsibilities is very
useful to the employee holding the
job, as well as a prospective employee
and the supervisor. This made
possible because of job analysis.
• When there is a need to change the
current design of jobs, this will be
detected in the process of job
analysis.
• The idea in recruitment is to be able
to hire people who, more or less, will
fit the jobs they are to hold. The
requirements of the various jobs and
the specific skills needed for each are
spelled out in job analysis.
• Selecting the best among the various
qualified job applicants is made easier
when the requirements of the job are
spelled out in clear and precise terms.
• When the requirements of the job are
clearly understood, orienting new
employees become a matter of
procedure. When duties and
responsibilities are properly stated,
learning is facilitated.
• Information provided in job analysis
is useful in determining what aspects
of the job must be included in
training. Redesigned jobs, for
instance, may require new skills which
the current jobholders may not
posses. This potential problem may be
brought out in a job analysis.
• Knowledge of the various jobs in the
organization will make career
counseling activities easier and more
effective. This will also help
employees make better decisions
regarding their career.
• Knowledge of the various jobs in the
organization will make career
counseling activities easier and more
effective. This will also help
employees make better decisions
regarding their career.
• In a job analysis, practices of current
jobholders that are deemed unsafe are
brought into the open. Consequently,
appropriate measures may be
adapted.
• It is very difficult to evaluate the
performance of an employee if the
evaluator does not have a thorough
understanding of what actions are
expected of the employee in the
performance of his job. Information
gathered through job analysis helps in
assuring a fair evaluation of the
employee’s performance.
• Job analysis provides some basis in
determining the worth of a job. This is
arrived at by clearly identifying its
difficulty in relation with other jobs,
the duties and responsibilities, and
the skill requirements. Once this is
done, the appropriate wage or salary
may be determined.

Observation is a method
of job analysis in which
the analyst observes the
person performing the job
and takes notes to
describe the tasks and
duties performed.
• Observation
• Interview
• Questionnaire
Interview method requires
the job analyst to
personally meet and
interview the jobholder.
There are three ways of
gathering information
using interview method.
• Observation
• Interview
• Questionnaire
They are as follows:
1. Interview the job
incumbent
2. Interviewing a group of
employees having the
same job.
3. Interviewing the
supervisor who is
thoroughly
knowledgeable about the
job under consideration.
• Observation
• Interview
• Questionnaire
A pre-designed survey
instrument is used under
the questionnaire method
of gathering information.
There are 2 types of
questionnaires that have
been developed and
which are very useful in
job analysis.

JOB SPECIFICATION
JOB SPECIFICATION
A statement defining the
qualifications of the person
needed to do the job.
A very useful guide in preparing
job specifications is the use of the
traditional approach.
Traditional Approach
1. Physique (health, appearance)
2. Attainments (education,
qualification, experience)
3. General intelligence
(intellectual capability)
4. Special aptitudes (facility with

Job Evaluation
Job Evaluation
The systematic determination of
the relative worth of jobs within
an organization. It aims to rank
all the jobs in the organization to
pave the way for assigning
compensation figures for each
job.
Job Evaluation
Done by using information
generated through job analysis.
Since evaluation is a critical
aspect of HRM, it must be
performed by an expert or a
group which could either be the
HRM department or an external
Summary
Job analysis and job design are
fundamental HR processes that play a
crucial role in managing an
organization's workforce effectively.
Summary
Job analysis is about understanding the
components and requirements of a job, while job
design is about structuring those components to
create motivating and efficient roles. Together,
these processes help organizations manage their
workforce by ensuring the right people are in the
right jobs and that those jobs are designed to
optimize performance and job satisfaction.
The only way
to do great
work is to
love what you
do.
