Document Summary
Process begins by looking at people at work. Job-based structures: look at tasks people are doing and the expected outcomes. Skill and competency based structures examine the people. Purpose of the process: collect and summarize information that identifies similarities and differences in jobs, determine what is valued about the job, quantify the relative value of jobs, translate relative value into an internal structure. Job analysis: the systematic process of collecting information about the nature of specific jobs: identifies the content of a job to describe and value work. Type of job analysis data needed varies based on function. Internal structures provide managers and employees with work-related reasons for pay differences: easier to direct behavior to organizational goals. Job analysis data helps managers defend their decisions if challenged. Two uses in compensation: establishes similarities and differences in the content of jobs, helps establish an internally fair and aligned job structure.
