Job analysis:
Job analysis is the formal process of identifying the content of a job in terms
activities involved and attributes needed to perform the work and identifies
major job requirements. Job analysis was conceptualized by two of the founders
of industrial/organizational psychology, Frederick Taylor and Lillian Moller
Gilbreth in the early 20th century. Job analyses provide information to
organizations which helps to determine which employees are best fit for
specific jobs.
Purpose of Job analysis:
One of the main purposes of conducting job analysis is to prepare job
descriptions and job specifications which in turn help hire the right quality
of workforce into an organization. The general purpose of job analysis is to
document the requirements of a job and the work performed. Job and task
analysis is performed as a basis for later improvements, including: definition
of a job domain; description of a job; development of performance appraisals,
personnel selection, selection systems, promotion criteria, training needs
assessment, legal defense of selection processes, and compensation plans.
