What Is Job Analysis?
The job analysis process is an important pre-employment step, but it’s critical to
routinely analysis roles that are already filled at your company. Doing so ensures
that you’re offering the right development opportunity and setting employees up for
success.
In this article, you’ll learn what job analysis is, why it’s important for your
business and a few common job analysis methods to implement in your
workplace.
A job analysis is a great tool to help you make a variety of personnel decisions
and understand the context of a role within an organization. Businesses often
use job analysis
2
Why is job analysis important?
Job analysis is crucial for defining the requirements of a job and finding the best
candidates for a vacant position. Here are some of the reasons why job analysis
is important:
workforce planning
A job analysis identifies job requirements in terms of skills, attributes, and other
professional characteristics and is a qualitative element of workforce demands.
Job analyses make it easier to delegate work to various roles.
Training and development
An employer may opt to observe employees while they perform their duties,
recording their activities and which skills they use to complete their tasks.
Observations are generally effective for processes involving physical tasks and
product outputs. The observation approach can be efficient when the job analyst
has enough skill to understand what to observe, how to interpret to employees,
and identify what they observe.

Surveys
A work diary or log is a document that employees maintain either daily or weekly
and which contains information on the frequency and timing of tasks. HR
typically examines the logs, discovers patterns, and turns them into job
descriptions. As this method generates a considerable amount of data, it is often
Start by establishing the goal of your job analysis. For example, your goal might
be to determine appropriate, updates job description or recruit potential
employees for an open role.
Determine which job analysis method will produce the most useful data for your
goals. For example, the interview method may not be the right choice if you’re
hiring for a completely new role at your company.
4. Create a timeline
Establish a timeline for notifying employees about the analysis, conducting the
analysis, reviewing the data and implementing any changes.

5. Prepare your materials
Prepare any necessary materials for the job analysis, like securing a meeting
room, purchasing a questionnaire or coming up with interview questions.
Perform the job analysis using best practices for the method you selected. If
possible, get input from employees, supervisors and senior managers to get a
more well-rounded and in-depth look at the job your analysis
Assess the data to see what the job entails, what skills and qualifications are
necessary to perform it well and any other relevant information needed to meet
your goals.
Finally, use the results of your job analysis to establish an updated job
description, appropriate compensation, employee development plan or other
documents or processes.

Compensation
Hiring
An in-depth job analysis helps organizations create in-depth job descriptions and get
managers and employees on the same page. It is also useful in defining the path job
holders will take to move up in an organization and transition to higher-level
positions. In the worst-case scenario, when an employee does not meet these
expectations, the job analysis can serve as a guide for criticisms, performance reviews
and job departures.

Scope of study
. Following is the scope of job analysis:
2. Compensation
3. Training
4. Performance Appraisal
Job analysis provides information about what the job entails and what human
characteristics are required to carry out these activities. Such job descriptions and job
specification information are used to decide what sort of people to recruit and hire.
Compensation
Job analysis information is also essential for estimating the value of and appropriate
compensation for each job. This is so because compensation, (such as salary and
bonus) usually depends on the job’s required skill and education level, safety hazards,
degree of responsibility and so on-all factors that are assessed through job analysis.
Job analysis provides the information determining the relative worth of each job so
that each job can be classified.

NEEDS OF STUDY
Performing a job analysis can seem like a daunting task. But, by gathering data on the
day-to-day activities of employees, you may discover gaps and overlaps in employee
tasks and responsibilities which might have caused difficulties later on. In job analysis,
there really aren’t any shortcuts, so make sure your research is thorough and your
final report is as user-friendly as possible.

Objectives of study
Job Analysis basically is a process wherein the data related to jobs are collected and analysed
to identify which tasks are to be performed and the required knowledge and skills to perform
the jobs. Job analyses produce information used for writing job descriptions and job
specifications. These are the objectives of the job analysis given below:
1. Work Simplification
2. Establishes Standards
3. Support other Activities
8
OBSERVATION OF METHODOLOGY
Observation method
Interview method
The interview method is when the analyst questions an employee about their
role. They hope to learn the same aspects of the job they might see in the
observation method, like what systems they use, what processes they follow and
how they apply their skills to achieve results. With this method, the interviewee
can formulate their own working styles to perform a particular role. Analysts
interview several people in the same role to get a more holistic view of the
responsibilities.
Questionnaire method
Daily method
The daily method is when an employee creates a record daily of the tasks they
perform. This can be over a set period of time, like a week, where they detail their
activities and the length, they spend on each. This can be an objective way to
understand how employees spend their time and can identify areas where an
employee might shift their attention to more important responsibilities.
9
Functional job analysis method
Job inventories involve a structured checklist that employees can check off to
verify that they're completing certain tasks. This usually comes from a role's job
description or management expectation to ensure they're performing certain
duties or using certain tools. These checklists can focus on the tasks themselves,
the team members or the qualifications for each role.
10
Limitations of the study
Though job analysis plays a vital role in all other human related activities but every
process that has human interventions also suffers from some limitations. The
process of job analysis also has its own constraints. So, let us discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of job analysis process at length.
11
. Helps in Establishing Effective Hiring Practices: Who is to be filled
where and when? Whom and how to target for a specific job opening? Job analysis
process gives answers to all these questions and helps managers in creating,
establishing and maintaining effective hiring practices.
. Guides through Performance Evaluation and Appraisal
Processes: Job Analysis helps managers evaluating the performance of
employees by comparing the standard or desired output with delivered or actual
output. On these bases, they appraise their performances. The process helps in
deciding whom to promote and when. It also guides managers in understanding
the skill gaps so that right person can be fit at that particular place in order to get
desired output.
. Helps in Analysing Training & Development Needs: The process of
job analysis gives answer to following questions:
1. Who to impart training?
2. When to impart training?
3. What should be the content of training?
4. What should be the type of training: behavioural or technical?

REVIEW
OF LITERATURE

LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature review will be conducted to provide a conceptual framework from which to
plan and organize the research and interpret results. The literature review will entail obtaining
recent and relevant literature and the presentation of this material in a qualitative manner.
JOB ANALYSIS
Job analysis is an organized study of jobs to recognize the visible work activities, tasks, and
responsibilities related with a particular job or cluster of jobs. It is a process of looking at
exactly what a job entails and to identify the particular job duties and requirements in detail
reflecting the importance of these duties for a given job. The significance of job analysis in
applying human resource practices cannot be ignored, as job analysis has been described as
“the fundamental building block upon which all later decisions in the process would rest.
“Importance of Job analysis has been narrated in the subject of personnel psychology which
determines the personal attributes like knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) which are
imperative for the thriving job performance. Bramnick and Levine (2002) defined the job
analysis as an organized process whereby nature of a job is discovered. Job or task is divided
into smaller units. McCormick, studied in 1976 that the collection and processing of job-
related information and other related tasks and qualifications through job analysis was a base
for human resource management (HRM). In Human Resources (HR) functions like
recruitment & selection, training & development, compensation & performance
management, job analysis has a vital role. Sanchez and Levine, discussed in 2000 that
erroneous practice of the job analysis may affect other HR activities based on it.
30Practice of Job analysis as a management tool was developed just about 1900. Since than
Job analysis become one of the imperative tools by which managers and professionals
directed the organizations. Former research by Mullins & Kimbrough, 1988; Avolio &
Waldman,1989; Schmitt & Cohen, 1989 and Landy & Vasey, 1991 on job analysis persistent
15
on the variable like demographic in job analysis ratings. Having interest in improving the
efficiency of job, Taylor, studied the job as one of his principles of scientific
management. From his ideas and data, time and motion study of jobs was emerged. This
consciousness on job analysis stimulated as the human relations associated with the
determination on other issues and other human resource practices emerged. Behavioural
scientists and Psychologists rediscovered in 1960 jobs as a focal point of study in the
organizations. Till such time, job analysis has been
focusedwork being carried out. This was altered in the 1970s as psychologists were attracted i
n jobanalysis. Their involvement was in three areas such as (i) quantifying job analysis by
developing questionnaires for data collection; (ii) worker orientation to job analysis; and,
(iii)focusing on smaller units rather than the whole job, task, or elements within jobs.
Cascio, (1998) and bowing & Harvey (2000) stressed the significance of job analysis as a
strategic HRM practice linked with the organizational performance. Anthony (2002)
undeclare, (2003) recommended that with the recognition of the Human Resource–
Performance linkage, organizations vigorously adopting job analysis as a human resource
strategy were likely to grow more and put on aggressive benefits. Gatewood &
16
Field, (1994) illustrated that extent to which tasks and employee attributes for an
assigned job was termed
They further discussed that work oriented methods engaged clear description of
variety of jobs or tasks to be performed, while, worker-oriented methods
examined human behaviours concerned with the work activities. Work or worker-
oriented t e c h n i q u e w h a t s o e v e r b e , j o b a n a l y s i s m e t h o d s a l l o w t h e
assumption of employee’s knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs)
characteristics. Davis (1995), Gatewood & Field, (1994) studied the
KSAs characteristics included in job-related information and the
necessary human abilities to perform certain job activities. The
s i g n i f i c a n c e o f applicable KSAs could not be overstated,
Accordingto Gatewood & Feild, (1994) job analysis was an instrument toa n a l y t i c a l l y g a t
her data on tasks and behaviou rs leading to KSAs about virtually and
any kind of work activity. Rien, (1977) emphasized on the recognize
valid predictors and criteria for job success which has also been acknowledged by the otherres
earchers and human resource professional, fully engaged in recruitment and
17
selection process. Dunnette, (1976) and Wernimont & Campbell, (1968) linked job analysisin
formation with recruitment process which was originated in the literature. Some of these
researchers pointed job analysis as the base of the entire recruitment and selection process.
The divergence was in a through consideration of the job performance realm which could lead
to the development of the system in which the personal attributes (KSA) required to
acceptably perform the jobs, identified and empirically linked with corresponding
job performance. In 1991, Harvey acknowledged the job analysis in relation with work behavi
ours and associated tasks those were required for successful job performance.
(1999) discussed the importance of Job Analysis and conduction of Job Analysis which was
obvious from the fact that most of the researchers have declared job analysis as a backbone
and cornerstone of each and every human resource activity. Job analysis provides a
foundation of requisite information regarding jobs and employees that human resource
professionals used to build up such important documents such as job description (JD), job
specifications and
18
development programmes. Hustled (1994), Hustled, (1995); Delaney & Hustled, (1996)
confirmed that well-established human resource practices not only enhance job retention but
also make a considerable involvement in objective performance and enhance productivity. As
noticed above, linkage between the practice of job analysis and Job performance has
not been analytically found as yet, so there is an adequate amount of subjective evidence in th
ecurrent human resource practices -performance literature to anticipate a significant impact
of job analysis on job performance. Data of case studies has described how variousorganizatio
ns have achieved an advantage upon following the practice of job analysis, one imperative
reason for exploring a significant association between job analysis and
job performance was the innermost position that job analysis occupy in the human resource pr
actices that contributed to job performance.
(1998) claimed that the definitive rationale of job analysis was to improve job performance
and output of an 33employee. The significance and carrying out the job analysis has the latent
to devise this input to job performance both directly and inter-actively with other core HR
practices. In 1994, Clifford studied that the organizations admiring the importance of the job
analysis and regularly practicing the job analysis have a better knowledge and understanding
of their employees’ strengths and weaknesses accordingly a timely remedial action may be
taken to improve their deficiency in skills and abilities. Practice of conducting regular job
analysis can assist an organization in establishing an appropriate infrastructure by determining
the tasks to be performed as well as the deadlines for performing them. Regular practice of
job analysis contributed to the organizational performance by enhancing a positive job
attitude and job dedication. In addition, job analysis was capable to identify factors such as
employee’s motivation and job satisfaction. Gomez Mejia.
19
In order to initiate the management decisions, an organization requires an effective Human
Resource Information System (HRIS). This system must endow with existing but correct data
of the employees. Job analysis was found a useful means to glance insight the actual job
features of each job being an essential element of an efficient HRIS. The key documents
like job description, job specification and job standards were usually included in anorganizati
on’s human resource information system. Other information contained in the HRIS
concerning with the employees, like job performance standards, fringe benefits, perks.
The government rules and prevailing regulations, legal issues, etc., made it a vital resource
for human resource professionals and managers to stay alongside each other of organizational
needs and innovative developments in the exterior environment. HRIS, a valuable human
resource planning tool, would certainly improve effectiveness and efficiency of an
organization and job performance. Ardy & Dobbins, (1992) and Langdon & Whiteside,
(1996) and Siegal, (1997) defined each job in terms of its specific role in an organization,
recruitment and selection functions could be polished to identify the candidates who might
actively move forward organisational targets and goals. Cardy & Dobbins, (1992) and
Langdon & Whiteside, (1996) and Siegel, (1997) emphasized on the competency-focused
approach in the present environment, where jobs and skills required to perform
them successfully are rapidly changing and may be seen as an indispensable improvement
over the criterion approach to achieve organizational goals. In 1991 Harvey has discussed
four steps which were actively involved in conducting the Job analysis.
First, job or work activities performed on the job were elicited from job occupants and
supervisors. Second, activities and operations were grouped into tasks or duties to simplify
and organize statements and to eliminate overlapping. Third, the resultant list of job tasks was
rated on measures of overall significance to successful job performance. Finally, the
knowledge, skills and abilities required for successful job performance were identified for
development of selection instruments and potential training needs.
JOB DESIGN
20
According to Fried & Ferriss, (1987); Parker, Wall, & Cordray, (2001) Job design has
developed a great deal of interest in the area of HRM during the recent decades. Yorgason
&Campion, (2003) and Parker & Wall, (1998) have discussed a basic principle in the job
design research according to which jobs were stimulated and associated with motivational
factors
which contributed to the attitudinal and behavioural job performance outcomes. Hackman &
Oldham, (1976, 1980) developed Job Characteristics Model (JCM) derived from the modern
research on job design. Core job characteristics of Job Characteristics Model were skill
multiplicity, task distinctiveness, tasks implications, self-sufficiency and job feedback which
actively contributed to job stimulus and subsequently to three vital emotional states practised
meaningfulness, experienced responsibility and knowledge of results, which has a great
positively impact on employee motivation, job performance and outcome of these like job
satisfaction and job retention. Kopelman, (1985); Fried & Ferris, (1987); Fried, (1991);
Oldham, (1996) and Parker.
21
exposed diverse results on the linkage between inspiring job characteristics and
job performance and outcome like turnover and absenteeism. Rousseau & Fried, (2001) and
Johns, (2006) found inconsistent results and suggested that background might play a vital role
in moderating employee reactions. Fried & Ferris, (1987); Fried, (1991); Xia, & Fang (1992)
(2001) supported the hypothesized linkage between stimulating job characteristics and job
satisfaction, the extent of the relationship between the core job characteristics and outcomes
appeared to be moderate rather than hi

Features of Job Analysis
From the definitions in the preceding section, we can list the features of job analysis as
follows:
23
4. It establishes job-relatedness, which is crucial for HR decisions involving
recruitment, selection, compensations, training, health, and safety
The data collected from the job analysis can be used for three purposes.
1.Job Description
2.Job Specification
3.Job Evaluation
Job Description
Job descriptions describe the duties, responsibilities, working conditions, and activities
of a particular job. Job descriptions vary in terms of the level of detail provided.
One valuable source for locating standardized job descriptions is the Dictionary of
Occupational Titles (DOT), published by the US Department of, providing more than
12,000 occupations. Managers can adapt the standardized job descriptions from the
DOT to the specific jobs within their firm.
Job Specification
Job specifications detail the knowledge, skills, and abilities relevant to a job, including
the education, experience, specialized training, personal and manual dexterity required.
The job specification is important for several reasons.
For example, airline pilots, attorneys, and medical doctors must be licensed. Another
type of job specification is based on professional tradition.
24
For example, university professors must usually hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree if
they are in a tenure track position.
Finally, job specifications might involve establishing certain standards or criteria for
successful performance.
Job Evaluation
The information gathered during a job analysis can be used as input for the
organization’s job evaluation system.
This information is primarily used to determine the pay for the job. Thus, employees
should be paid more for working more difficult jobs.
A job can be broken into several components and arranged into a hierarchy of work
activities. This hierarchy is depicted in the following figure;
1. Element
2. Task
3. Duty
4. Position
5. Job
6. Occupation

2.1. Literature Review In this section, literature review will be discussed based on recent
research as references for creating the current research. 2.2.1. Recent Research The success
of company is depended on many factors. Most research suggests that Human Resource
Management is a vital in order for an organisation to achieve organisational success
(Abdullah et al, 2009). Human Resource Management is now often seen as the major factor
which differentiates between successful and unsuccessful organizations (Sameen et al, 2014).
The better the human resource management, the better system will achieve and all of jobs can
be handled. In order to improve company’s system, they should understand about their goals
also problems and issues happened related to the company.
After that, they can plot the strategy and trained their employee based on company’s
requirement. An organization could achieve its competitive strategy by implementing
effective HRM practices (Vue & Ali, 2011). In a rapidly changing competitive environment,
human resources are one important source of competitive advantage. Human resource
systems can contribute to sustained competitive advantage through facilitating the
development of competencies that are firm specific (Alaskan, 2010). Businesses must plan
for their human resources needs before setting out to find the right person for the job
(Practices et al, 2014). Based from Suthar, McCormick said that job analysis is collection and
processing of job-related information and other related tasks and qualifications through job
analysis was a base for Human Resource Management (Suthar et al., 2014).
27
Job analysis is a family of procedures to identify the content of a job in terms of activities
involved and attributes or job requirements needed to perform the activities (Arts & College,
2014). In every job, it should be informed clearly about the duties and responsibilities. Job
analysis is the systematic process of determining the skills, duties, and knowledge required
for performing jobs in an organization. It is an essential and pervasive human resource
technique. (Sibu & 6 Pinta, 2014). Therefore, job analysis become strategic and important
practice with potential contribution for organizational performance. Performance
management identifies the organization's objectives, the necessary results to achieve.
Performance assessment is part of the performance management process, which is a
collection of communication for a certain period between the manager and the employee
(Osmani and Ramli, 2012) Through job analysis and performance assessment, company
easily managing their employee and directing them in order to achieve company’s goals.
2.2.2. Current Research Tirta Jaya is a small medium enterprise which has two division
(Marketing Division and Administration Division) in their office. As the company grows,
management plan to build financial division to evaluate their financial condition. Human
Resource Management approach will be suitable to create successful organization.
28
Operator can be replaced by robot, but idea is only coming from human. Other resources
depend on human resource without which they are worthless because if there would be no
human then who will plan, organize, or monitor the other resources (Sameen et al., 2014).
Effective HRM practices can have positive impact on business performance. (Abdullah et al.,
2009).
At least there are four importance of human resource: a. HR policies refer to human
behaviour, which is complex, often conflict-ridden, and culturally dependent. b. There are
many different HR policy instruments and practices. 8 c. The success or otherwise of
different HR policies, programmes and plans is difficult to evaluate. d. Many managers
believe that people management is just common (Hoque et al, 2013) Based on Dressler in
Human Resource
Management 13th Edition, human resource management also important for all managers for
several reasons: a. Avoid personnel mistakes Human Resource Management helps
Improve profits and performance Many managers have been successful even with inadequate
plans, organizations, or controls. They were successful because they had knack of hiring the
right people for the right job and motivating, appraising, and developing them. Human
Resource Management deals with the behaviour, responsibilities, function, and importance of
employee. Khan in Sameen stated that HR practices are more likely to make a contribution to
competitive success when introduced as a comprehensive package, or 'bundle' of practices.
HRM practices influence business performance: training and development,
compensation/incentives, and HR planning. (Abdullah et al., 2009). Sameen also cite
Redman and Matthews that some key practices are identified as an ‘HRM bundle’ being: a.
Careful recruitment and selection, for example, ‘total quality recruitment’, ‘zero defects
recruitment’, ‘right first-time recruitment’. b. Extensive remuneration systems, for example,
bonuses available for staff willing to be multi-skilled. c.
29
Team working and flexible job design, for example, encouraging a sense of cohesiveness
and designing empowered jobs. d. Training and learning, for example, front line staff having
enhanced interpersonal and social skills. e. Employee involvement, for example, keeping
employees informed of key changes in the organization. f. Performance appraisals with links
to contingent reward systems, for example, gathering customer feedback to recognize the
work by employees 9 over and above their expected duties, which in turn is likely to lead to a
bonus for staff. 2.2.2. Job analysis Job analysis is a tool for human resource management in
designing and evaluating job. It has received considerable attention in Western countries as a
useful HR planning tool, affects organizational performance in a developing country.
(Siddique, 2004). Job analysis provides an objective picture of the job, not the person
performing the job, and as such, provides fundamental information to support all subsequent
and related human resource activities, such as recruitment, training, development,
performance management and succession planning. (Saiph et al., 2013).
Job analysis drills into units of a job depending on the focus. The process breaks down a job
into different components. By adjusting the scope of the analysis, job analysts can obtain
specific information to fit the needs of their organization (Ne, 2012) Figure 2.2. Uses of Job
Analysis Source: Dressler, 2013 Based on Figure 2.2., the output of job analysis are job
description and job specification that can be used for several function, such as human
30
resource planning, recruitment and selection, job evaluation, performance appraisal, labour
relations, training development, and job design.
Job analysis serves two critical functions with respect to these processes. It helps ensure that
decisions made with respect to human resource processes are good decisions, i.e., fair and
accurate (e.g., selection of the right person for the job, appropriate decisions 10 about
training, performance management, development, etc) and ensure the defensibility of
decisions made to employees which resulting in good HR management and to the court
which resulting in savings of costs, time and reputation. (Saiph et al., 2013). The
effectiveness of these human resource practices requires that jobs must be clearly understood
by both the jobholders and the organization. The practice of job analysis provides this
understanding. (Siddique, 2004). Job analysis provides information about jobs currently
being done and the knowledge, skills and abilities that individuals need to perform the jobs
adequately. (Saiph et al., 2013).
It focused on the collection of work-related information for the job as it currently exists
and/or has existed in the past (Rodríguez Rivero, 2013). Job analysis help in preparing job
descriptions and job specifications which in turn help hire the right quality of workforce into
an organization. The general purpose of job analysis is to document the requirements of a job
and the work performed. (Arts & College, 2014). The goal of job analysis is to secure all
necessary job data for a variety of human resource management function (Ne, 2012). Job
analysis consists of collecting data and applying it by preparing job descriptions, job
specification and job standards (Lanka, 2015). Different types of information are collected
during a job analysis, and a variety of methods can be used. Information is most commonly
collected on job activities, educational requirements, types of equipment or tools used,
working conditions, supervisory or management responsibilities, interpersonal or
communication skills, agency contacts, and external contacts (Club & Job, 2013). Therefore,
a job description is a result of a job analysis. Where the job analysis describes the general
requirements of a certain job, the job description will explain in detail the different tasks to
accomplish during the day (Lanka, 2015).
The job description outlines the job tasks, duties and responsibilities and serves as a guide
for the recruitment and selection process going forward in general, a job description can be
seen as relating to all the technical, administrative and managerial aspects of the job, the job
title, job summary, job duties, tasks and outputs (Suthar et al., 2014). In term of doing job
analysist, there are several methods of collecting job analysis information stated by DeCenzo
in Fundamental of Human Resource 11 Management and Dressler in Human Resource
Management 13th Edition, such as: a. Observation Method With this method, analyst will
watches employees directly or review films of workers on the job b. Interview Method There
are some kinds of interview methods such as individual interview method, group interview
method, and technical conference method. In individual interview method, analyst meet the
employee to conduct the interview and determine what his or her job entails. Group interview
31
method has similarity with individual interview method except the number of employees.
Technical conference method involves supervisors to get information about the job
characteristic. Analyst ask the supervisor as an expert to obtain the detail job that done by
employee. c. Structured Questionnaire Method Analyst provide the structured questionnaire
to employee which need employee to check or rate items they performed in their job from a
long list of possible task items. This will help analyst gather information about the job d.
Diary Method The diary method requires employee to record his or her daily activities. e.
Quantitative Job Analysis Technique Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) PAQ method
generates job requirement information applicable to all types of jobs. This method involves
194 elements that are grouped within six major categories. The categories are information
input, mental processes, work output, relationship with other people,
job context and other job characteristics. The use of elements should be suitable with The
PAQ strength is an assigning job to job classes for pay purposes. 12 Figure 2.3. PAQ
Categories Source: (Armstrong, 1972) The number of job elements are depending on the
needed. For the most part, it appears more applicable to higher level and professional jobs.
The best result of collecting data usually achieved with some combination of those method, at
least three methods of them including interview, questionnaire, and observation. Based on
Dressler, 2013, there are six steps in doing job analysis as follows: a. Decide how you’ll use
the information The information that analyst try to figure out should be based on the purpose
of the job analysis itself. b. Review relevant background information such as organization
32
charts, process charts, and job description Organization chart show the organization wide
division of work, while process chart show the flow of input and output from the job that will
be analysed. In order to do job analysis, it is necessary to conduct work flow analysis
. Work flow analysis is detailed study of the flow of work from job to job in a work process.
In the big scope, knowing business process also important before going detail on work flow.
This information can be used for evaluating job and conducting job redesign if it is needed.
Job redesign solutions can be job enlargement, job rotation, and job enrichment. 13 Herzberg
in Dressler said empowered employees would do their jobs well because they wanted to, and
quality and productivity would rise. Robertson and Smith (1985) in A Handbook of Human
Resource Management Practice suggest the following five approaches to job design: I.
To influence skill variety, provide opportunities for people to do several tasks and combine
tasks ii. To influence task identity, combine tasks and form natural work units iii. To
influence task significance, from natural work units and inform people of their work iv. To
influence autonomy, give people responsibility for determining their own working system v.
To influence feedback, establish good relationship and open feedback channels c. Select
representative positions Focus only on selected positions that will be analysed d. Analyse the
job Conducting analysis by collecting data on job activities, working conditions, human
traits, and abilities needed to perform the job. e. Verify the job analysis information with the
worker and supervisor This step will help analyst to make sure that the information is correct
and acceptable f. Develop a job description and job specification Lanka, S.
in International Journal 2015 also discussed about job description and job specification
which stated that job description can be the best thought of as a blue print of position. It
outlines the essential duties and responsibilities that are expected of the employee and the
basic purpose of the work the employee is expected to perform. It also defines accountability
in an organization, which helps to prevent overlap of duties and as signs task responsibility.
The other resource; David A in Fundamentals of Human Resource Management Eight
Edition said that job analysis process generates tangible outcomes: job description, job
specification, and job evaluation. Job Description Based on Club & Job in 2013, a job
description identifies the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of a job. There is no standard
format for writing job description. 14 Refer to Dressler and Club & Job, most of job
descriptions contain the following information as can be shown in Figure 2.6. Figure 2.4. Job
Description Aspects a. Job Identification This information provides job title, division, and
department b.
Job summary the job summary should summarize the essence of the job, and include only its
major functions or activities. This is the brief statement of the general job components that
make the job different from others c. Relationship This information contains relationship
statement with other inside and outside the organization. The elements of this parts are
33
reports to, supervise, works with, and outside the company. Elements “work with” refer to
internal relationship, while “outside company” refer to external relationship. d. Working
condition 15 This section gives information to the employee related to working condition of
the job, such as environment, temperature, and noise. e. Job Specification Job specification
establishes the qualifications required of applicants for the job openings. Job specification
provides a basis for attracting qualified applicants & discouraging unqualified ones. This
provides the qualification needed to perform the job successfully. The job specifications list
the KSAOCs. Knowledge is the information required for this position. It can be factual,
procedural, or conceptual and is related to the performance of tasks. The example of
knowledge is minimum education and working experience. Skills are the observable
competencies required to perform the particular tasks of the position. Abilities are the
applicant’s aptitudes for performing particular tasks. Other characteristics include attitudes,
personality factors, or physical or mental traits needed to perform a job. 2.2.3. Performance
Management Performance management refers to a systematized behaviour to make
evaluation on the working (Weiwei & Feng-e, 2012). Performance management includes all
activities that ensure the organization's objectives are being met effectively (Osmani and
Ramli, 2012) If an organization chooses the path of growth and excellence, then it needs to
evaluate its performance.
34
value-added; and the organization will eventually fail (Avari et al, 2016). Performance
assessment is part of the performance management process, which is a collection of
communication for a certain period between the manager and the employee. Based on
Osmani & Ramli in 2012, here are the objective, types, and example of performance
assessment. The objectives of the assessment performance are as below: a. To review the
performance of employees for a period of time b. To assist the manager in conducting the
control/audit c. To help in improving relationships and communication between managers
and employees d. To establish the strengths and weaknesses of employees, in order to
identify training needs and future development 16 e. To provide the feedback from
employees regarding their performance f. To evaluate the effectiveness of other functions of
the organization's human resources such as recruitment, selection, training and development
There are six step to create performance assessment as refer in Figure 2.5. Figure 2.5.
Process of Performance Assessment Source: (Osmani and Ramli, 2012) The first step is
establishing performance standard. This step requires the definition of criteria for assessing
the performance of employees as successful or unsuccessful and the level of their
contribution to the realization of objectives of the organization. After set the standards,
manager has responsibility to communicate them to all employee. The next step is measuring
the actual employee performance by assessing them. The assessment result can be used to
compare with the standards, whether the performance is lower, higher, or same as standard.
The performance assessment process is incomplete without the communication of feedback
or the result of performance assessment to employees by the manager. This enables
employees to high scores to know that their efforts are appreciated and rewarded, while to the
employees with poor performance make aware that their performance should be improved. 17
The last step is decision making and taking corrective actions.
Assessment of the results People differ from their abilities and inclinations. There is always
a difference between the quality and quantity of the same work which is performed by two
different persons. An employee may engage more but does not contribute at all to achieve the
35
objectives of the organization. An example of this is the case when each employee in manual
mode compiles every form and procedure, while the other carries them using computer
technology. Therefore, for the organization is necessary the performance evaluation based on
results and quality in order to understand each employee skills, competencies and values. d.
Self-assessment This is another method of evaluation that puts the employee to assess and
evaluate its performance in meeting the objectives of the organization. However, the problem
of performance evaluation by the individuals themselves followed by suspicion that people
can be subjective. For this reason, it is not even realistic to expect that of themselves will be
the right assessments by employees. The example of performance assessment in Osmani &
Ramli in 2012 is annual assessment form which classified into five sections. 18 Section A
This part is about employee details such as name, birthday, date of beginning work, place of
work, and current position. b. Section B This part contains of general purpose and objective
of work that already specified by manager. The objective of work is according to the
importance and the score indicate the level of assessment for each objective c. Section C This
part determines the level of basic skills. Manager set the items of basic skills which needed in
the division, then assess the employee by indicating the level attained for each skill from 1 to
4. Score 1 means not sufficient while score 4 means the extremely well d. Section D This part
is the overall superior assessment. Manager gives comments and score for overall
performance. This section ended with signature and name of the ratter.
This part is proof making notification which provide signature of the relevant employee.
This section makes sure that the employee receives and read their assessment for self-
evaluation

CONCLUSIO N
An effective recruitment and selection process reduces turnover, we also get much
better results in our recruitment process if we advertise specific criteria that are relevant to
the job. Include all necessary skills, and include a list of desired skills that are not necessary
but that would enhance the candidate's chances. If we fail to do this, we might end up with a
low-quality pool of candidates and wind up with limited choices to fill the open position.
When we choose a candidate based upon the qualifications demonstrated in the resume, the
interview, employment history and background check, we will land the best fit for the
position. Based on our decisions about a specific candidate upon specific evidence rather
than any gut instincts. If we hire people who can do the job instead of people we merely
like, we will have higher productivity and quality in our products or services.
The recruitment and selection process is the time we not only identify a candidate who has
the experience and aptitude to do the job that we are looking to fill, but also to find someone
who shares and endorses our company’s core values. The candidate will need to fit in well
within our company’s culture. The selection and recruitment process should provide our
company with an employee who adapts and works well with others in our business. Failure to
recruit and select forth long term can result in high turnover.
Besides, selection function provides a vital opportunity for us to focus on what candidates
can offer our company. It is important to select carefully, either by using our own judgment
or by enlisting the help of managers we trust. The interviewer must know what the job is and
what will be required for a new hire to perform well. The interview process also allows us the
opportunity to express our company’s vision, goals and needs. Last but not least, It is vital
that the interview elicits responses from applicants that can be measured against our
expectations
65
SUGGESTIONS
Uninteresting job postings are a major put off for candidates who know their worth and are
interested in making an impact with their work. The best candidates not only care about the
pay checks but also want to create a definite business impact with their work. They want to
know what will be their contribution to business’s growth. To convey this, the description
should talk about the role’s importance for business, and how it will aid in its growth. This
will give a sense of importance to the candidate applying to the job and they will know
what’s expected of them even before the interview. Hence, recruiters should ideally
coordinate with the hiring managers to draft accurate job descriptions which provide a sense
of purpose to the candidate.
A quick proofread for any kind of formatting and grammatical error is most essential. Also,
recruiters should eliminate words that project a bias against a particular gender or
underrepresented minority, unless of course that is a specific requirement of the role.
“Gendered language”, as it is popularly known as is rampantly used in online employment
listings but the future needs to change this and a recruiter must share this responsibility.
Words like “Ninja” might make the job listing exciting to read, but it may also dissuade
women from applying. Same goes for words like, “dominate” and “competitive”. If a
company believes in narrowing down the applicant-pool gender gap, a simple way to do so is
to purge the gendered language and rewrite job descriptions.
