Document Summary
Chapter 7: evaluating jobs: the job evaluation process. Job analysis: the process of collecting information on which job descriptions are based. Job description: a summary of the duties, responsibilities, and reporting relationships pertaining to a particular job. Job specifications: the employee qualifications deemed necessary to successfully perform the duties for a given job. *there are 4 principal methods of job analysis: observation, interviews, questionnaires, and functional job analysis. The first three can only be conducted in organizations that already have examples of the jobs that need to be evaluated. Organizations that are just being created or that are introducing new jobs must depend on the 4th method, functional job analysis. *the best questionnaire is known as position analysis questionnaire (paq). Paq focuses on the behaviors that make up a job and utilizes 187 items (called job elements ) to describe work activities.
