Job analysis is the procedure through which you determine the duties and nature of the jobs and the
kinds of people who should be hired for them. You can utilize the information it provides to write job
descriptions and job specifications, which are utilized in recruitment and selection, compensation,
performance appraisal, and training.
I. Steps in Job Analysis
Job Analysis process has following steps:
a. Identify how the information will be used because that will determine what data will be
collected and how it should be collected. Interviewing and position analysis
questionnaire are some examples of data collection techniques.
b. Review relevant background information, such as organization charts, process charts,
and job descriptions.
c. Select representative positions to analyze because there may be too many similar jobs to
analyze, and it may not be necessary to analyze them all.
d. Analyze the job by collecting data on job activities, required employee behaviors,
working conditions, and human traits and abilities needed to perform the job.

factually correct and complete.
