Document Summary
Job analysis involves the identification and description of what is happening on the job. Results are used for describing and valuing work. Job incumbents and supervisors provide the information. Top management and union support is critical. A written record of the duties and responsibilities of a specific job compiled through job analysis. Identifies and describes the job title, job summary, relationships to other jobs, essential responsibilities and tasks. A job specification lists the qualifications required to do the job; may be included in the job description. After deciding that job characteristics will be the basic unit of analysis supporting the pay structure, it must be decided: What method(s) will be used to collect them. Who should be involved in the process. The best way to ensure acceptance of job analysis results is to involve both employees and supervisors. Job analysis can be tedious and time-consuming.
