Document Summary
To attain goals (strategic and operational), must specify the division of labour (commonly referred to as partitioning the work process) into manageable units called jobs. Job: a grouping of related duties, tasks, and behaviours performed by one or more individuals, namely jobholders. Positions: refers to the number of individuals who are performing the duties, tasks, and behaviours required by a specific job. Job analysis: analysis of subdivided work in the organization, both at the level of the individual job and for the entire flow of the production process. Examine the jobs in the organization with a view to documenting the knowledge, skills, and abilities (ksaos) associated with successful performance of those jobs. A job analysis will produce written outcomes (documents), including job descriptions and job specifications. Job description: duties or tasks to be carried out. Job specification: competencies required by jobholder to be a successful performer.
