Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to address the need for timely, thorough, practical, and defensible job analysis for HR managers. Under continuing development over the past 50 years, Functional Job Analysis (FJA) is acknowledged by major texts in HR and industrial/organizational psychology as one of the premier methods of job analysis used by leading-edge organizations in the private and public sectors. It is unique among job analysis methods in having its own in-depth theoretical grounding within a systems framework. In addition to providing a methodology for analyzing jobs, it offers a rich model and vocabulary for communicating about the competencies (skills) contributing to work success and about the design of the work organization through which those competencies are expressed. FJA is the right theory and methodology for future work in an increasingly competitive global economy. This book is the authoritative source describing how FJA can encourage and support an ongoing dialogue between workers and management as they jointly pursue total quality, worker growth, and organization performance. It is a flexible tool, fully recognizing the rapid changes impacting today's organizations. It is a comprehensive tool, leading to an in-depth understanding of work, its results, and its improvement in a unique organization context. It is a humane tool, viewing workers in light of their full potential and capacity for positive growth. With FJA, workers and managers can work more constructively together in a wholesome and productive work relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human resource practitioners are repeatedly faced with the challenge of effectively using language to clearly describe the work performed on a job. Functional Job Analysis--an internationally recognized and respected job analysis method --has been meeting this challenge for more than forty years. In this book, the authors show how human resource practitioners can use structured task statements and comprehensive rating scales to gain the perspective needed to map the domain of any job. In response to the demands of human resource practitioners, the book focuses on the seven scales used in Functional Job Analysis. More than 450 structured tasks were used to illustrate the breadth and scope of all the levels of these scales. These tasks can be used effectively as benchmarks to chart the work requirements of virtually any job. Personnel practitioners will find insights into the challenges of job analysis, as well as the tools needed to make job analysis more comprehensive, useful, and effective for human resources. Representing the most comprehensive information to date on the use of Functional Job Analysis scales for rating job tasks, this book: *addresses the problems of using language to clearly describe how work is performed on the job; *describes the relation between the need to carefully control the language of job analysis and the structure inherent in the Functional Job Analysis Worker Function scales--a conceptual link showing the reader that the key to understanding work is in the vocabulary used to describe work; *contains the most comprehensive treatment of the way to write clear and comprehensive task statements available in the job analysis literature; and *contains a sample task bank for the job of Functional Job Analysts--aiding the reader in understanding how a complete Functional Job Analysis should look.

Book excerpt: The word "job analysis" refers to the practise of dissecting a job or career into its constituent parts, such as organisational structure, work activities, and informational content. The process produces a relevant, timely, and tailored database of job-related information that can be used to develop traditional, individualised, computer-based, and/or critical incident education and training programmes and materials; create and classify job titles; write job descriptions; prepare organisation charts; conduct time and motion studies; determine quality assurance standards; and write both knowledge- and performance-based training programmes and materials. Job analyses are also necessary for the creation of government publications such as the Occupational Information Network (O*Net), the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), the Occupational Outlook Handbook, and other resources that describe the job situation. Occupational analysis and task analysis are two words that are frequently used interchangeably with job analysis. Job and occupational analysis are frequently confused in the literature. The investigation of a job's occupational structure, work activities, and informational content is the emphasis of the procedure. Later, the information gleaned from the study is used to organise and construct the vocational training programme. Task analysis, on the other hand, is an important aspect of the job analysis process. Task analysis is the process of breaking down a task into its constituent parts, such as performance steps, performance step details, technical information topics, career and occupational guidance information topics, performance standards, frequency, importance, and complexity, and tools, equipment, materials, supplies, and technical references. The task analysis' findings serve as a foundation for constructing the training program's knowledge- and performance-based learning activities. A job analysis will show: 1. Job-oriented activities, which are detailed descriptions of the tasks to be completed, such as teaching, coaching, facilitating, and mentoring. 2. Who a worker reports to, as well as his or her relationships with others, such as bosses, coworkers, and subordinates. 3. Work-related behaviours such as coordinating, checking, auditing, and making various decisions. 4. Work-related equipment, resources, and tools, such as software, machines, and so on. 5. Workplace conditions, such as physical working environment, work schedules, organisational context, social context, and incentives, among others. 6. Job-related personal data, such as technical abilities, training, and work experience, etc. 7. Personal attributes such as aptitude, physical traits, personality, interests, passions, values, and so on. It is necessary to use appropriate strategies and procedures in acquiring information about a certain work in order to appropriately analyse it. To collect this information, recruitment organisations employ a variety of methods. Personal observation, personal interview, data collection via questionnaire, and record review are examples of such techniques and methodologies. Some uses and reason for job analysis are listed below: 1 Determination of Labor 2. Recruitment and selection 3. Wage and salary administration 4. Job Re-engineering 5. Industrial engineering activity 6. Human engineering activity 7. Employee training & management development 8. Performance Appraisal 9. Health and safety
