Job analysis is thus a prerequisite activity for the effective management of human resources: however, many important assumptions that underlie such fundamental uses of job analysis in management are becoming questionable in today"s business environment. Job analysis is focussed on the collection of work-related information for the job as it currently exists and/or has existed in the past: further, the procedures are related more to the situation of a one person-one job situation. Furthermore, and in all likelihood, organizations may perceive the creation of jobs that do not currently exist, the analysis of which is beyond the scope of traditional job analysis. This assumption implies that the job is static : such stability was inherently tied to mass-production techniques, long product cycles, large market shares and scarce competition that typified the organizational environment about two or three decades ago.
