The Analysis and


Design of Work

DR. JULIE ANN G. GONO CRUZ


How do you think a
specific employee's work is
identified?
WORK FLOW DESIGN
the process of analyzing the tasks necessary for the
production of a product or service, prior to
allocating and assigning these tasks to a particular
job category or person.

WORK-FLOW ANALYSIS
All organizations need to identify the
outputs of work, to specify the quality and
quantity standards for those outputs, and to
analyze the processes and inputs necessary
for producing outputs that meet the quality
standards.
Analyzing Work Outputs
Every work unit—whether a department, team, or
individual—seeks to produce some output that
others can use.

Analyzing Work Processes


the activities that members of a work unit
engage in to produce a given output.
Every process consists of operating
procedures that specify how things
should be done at each stage of the
development of the product.
Analyzing Work Inputs
The final stage in work-flow analysis is to
identify the inputs used in the development
of the work unit‘s product.
These inputs can be broken down into the
raw materials, equipment, and human skills
needed to perform the tasks. Raw materials
consist of the materials that will be
converted into the work unit‘s product.
Organizations that try to increase efficiency
via lean production techniques often try to
minimize the stockpile of inputs via ―just-
in-time‖ inventory control procedures
ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Two of the most critical dimensions of
organizational structure are centralization
and departmentalization

Centralization - refers to the degree to


which decision-making authority resides at
the top of the organizational chart as
opposed to being distributed throughout
lower levels

Departmentalization - refers to the degree


to which work units are grouped based on
functional similarity or similarity of
workflow.
JOB ANALYSIS
Refers to the process of getting detailed
information about jobs. It is important for
organizations to understand and match job
requirements and people to achieve high-quality
performance. This is particularly true in today‘s
competitive marketplace.

It is the building block of everything that human


resource managers do. Almost every human
resource management program requires some
type of information that is gleaned from job
analysis: selection, performance appraisal,
training and development, job evaluation, career
planning, work redesign, and human resource
planning.
Work Redesign
Often a firm will seek to redesign work to make it more
efficient or effective. To redesign the work, detailed
information about the existing job(s) must be available. In
addition, redesigning a job will, in fact, be similar to
analyzing a job that does not yet exist.

Human Resource Planning

Requires accurate information about the


levels of skill required in various jobs to ensure
that enough individuals are available in the
organization to meet the human resource
needs of the strategic plan.
Selection
identifies the most qualified applicants for
employment. To identify which applicants are most
qualified, it is first necessary to determine the tasks
that will be performed by the individual hired and the
knowledge, skills, and abilities the individual must have
to perform the job effectively. This information is
gained through job analysis.

Training
all require the trainer to have identified the tasks
performed in the job to ensure that the training will
prepare individuals to perform their jobs effectively.
Performance Appraisal
Deals with getting information about how well each
employee is performing in order to reward those who are
effective, improve the performance of those who are
ineffective or provide a written justification for why the
poor performer should be disciplined.

Career Planning
Entails matching an individual‘s skills and
aspirations with opportunities that are or may
become available in the organization.
Job Evaluation
The process of job evaluation involves assessing
the relative dollar value of each job to the
organization to set up internally equitable pay
structures.
What is the
Importance
of Job
Analysis?
IMPORTANCE OF JOB ANALYSIS
1. Managers must have detailed information
about all the jobs in their workgroup to
understand the workflow process.
2. Managers need to understand the job
requirements to make intelligent hiring
decisions.
3. A manager is responsible for ensuring that
each individual is performing satisfactorily
(or better).
4. It is also the manager‘s responsibility to
ensure that the work is being done safely
Job Description- A list of the tasks, duties, and
responsibilities (TDRs) that a job entails.
Job Specification
is a list of the knowledge, skills, abilities, and
other characteristics (KSAOs) that an
individual must have to perform the job.

Knowledge refers to factual or procedural


information that is necessary for successfully
performing a task.
Skill is an individual‘s level of proficiency at
performing a particular task.
Ability refers to a more general enduring
capability that an individual possesses.
Other characteristics might be personality
traits such as one‘s achievement motivation
or persistence.
Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ)
We lead this section off with the PAQ because this is one of the
broadest and most well-researched instruments for analyzing jobs.
1. Information input—Where and how a worker gets the information
needed to perform the job.
2. Mental processes—The reasoning, decision making, planning, and
information processing activities that are involved in performing
the job.
3. Work output—The physical activities, tools, and devices used by
the worker to perform the job.
4. Relationships with other persons—The relationships with other
people required in performing the job.
5. Job context—The physical and social contexts where the work is
performed.
6. Other characteristics—The activities, conditions, and
characteristics other than those previously described that are
relevant to the job.

Human Resource Planning


and Recruitment

DR. JULIE ANN G. GONO CRUZ


HUMAN RESOUCE PLANNING PROCESS
1. FORECASTING
The attempts to determine the supply of and demand for various types of human
resources to predict areas within the organization where there will be future labor
shortages or surpluses.
The primary goal is to predict areas within the organization where there will be
future labor shortages or surpluses.
HUMAN RESOUCE PLANNING PROCESS
2. GOAL SETTING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
The purpose of setting specific quantitative goals is to focus attention on the
problem and provide a benchmark for determining the relative success of any
programs aimed at redressing a pending labor shortage or surplus. The goals
should come directly from the analysis of labor supply and demand and should
include a specific figure for what should happen with the job category or skill
area and a specific timetable for when results should be achieved.
HUMAN RESOUCE PLANNING PROCESS
2. GOAL SETTING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
2. GOAL SETTING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
Downsizing - The planned elimination of large numbers of personnel
designed to enhance organizational effectiveness.
Early Retirement Programs and Buyouts - To improve the health of
older people in general, in combination with decreased physical
labor. This option is attractive for many workers
Employing Temporary Workers -afforded firms the flexibility needed
to operate efficiently in the face of swings in the demand for goods
and services.
Outsourcing - a logical choice when a firm simply does not have
certain expertise and is not willing to invest time and effort into
developing it.
Offshoring -A special case of outsourcing where the jobs that move
actually leave one country and go to another.
Altering Pay and Hours - Companies facing a shortage of labor may
be reluctant to hire new full-time or part-time employees.
HUMAN RESOUCE PLANNING PROCESS
3. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

The programs developed in the strategic-choice stage of the process


are put into practice in the program-implementation stage. A critical
aspect of program implementation is to make sure that some
individual is held accountable for achieving the stated goals and has
the necessary authority and resources to accomplish this goal. It is
also important to have regular progress reports on the
implementation to be sure that all programs are in place by specified
times and that the early returns from these programs are in line with
projections.

4. EVALUATE THE RESULT


Human Resource Recruitment
The goal of the recruiting is not simply to generate large
numbers of applicants. If the process generates a sea of
unqualified applicants, the organization will incur great
expense in personnel selection, but few vacancies will
actually be filled. This problem of generating too many
applicants is often promulgated by the use of wide-
reaching technologies like the Internet to reach people.

PERSONNEL POLICIES

generic term we use to refer to organizational decisions that


affect the nature of the vacancies for which people are
recruited. If the research on recruitment makes one thing
clear, it is that characteristics of the vacancy are more
important than recruiters or recruiting sources when it
comes to predicting job choice.
Which is better
External or Internal
Recruitment?

Recruitment Sources

1. Internal Hiring
2. Referrals
3. Advertisements in Newspapers and
Periodicals
4. Electronic Recruiting
5. Public and Private Employment Agencies
6. Colleges and Universities
7. Walk-in
Evaluating the Quality of a Source

There are few rules about the quality of a given source for a given
vacancy, it is generally a good idea for employers to monitor the
quality of all their recruitment sources. One means of accomplishing
this is to develop and compare yield ratios for each source.
Recruiters
it is the recruiter‘s job to sell them on a vacancy, some applicants
may discount what the recruiter says relative to what they have
heard from other sources (like friends, magazine articles, and
professors).
Recruiter’s Functional Area. Most organizations must choose whether
their recruiters are specialists in human resources or experts at
particular jobs (supervisors or job incumbents).
Recruiter’s Traits. Two traits stand out when applicants‘ reactions to
recruiters are examined. The first, which could be called ―warmth,‖
reflects the degree to which the recruiter seems to care about the
applicant and is enthusiastic about her potential to contribute to the
company. The second characteristic could be called
―informativeness.
Recruiter’s Realism. The recruiter‘s job is to attract candidates, there
is some pressure to exaggerate the positive features of the vacancy
while downplaying the negative features.
RECRUITMENT METRICS

2. Time to hire
3. Source of hire
4. First-year attrition
