Definition
Programs that help nonprofit organizations, small businesses and other groups conduct a study which identifies and describes in detail the particular job duties and requirements for a given job as well as their relative importance. The analysis focuses on duties and tasks which constitute the job, the physical environment in which a particular job is performed, tools and equipment used, supervisory relationships and relationships with other individuals, internally and externally, and job requirements (the knowledge, skills and abilities that are needed to perform the job). A variety of methods are used in job analysis including a review of job classification systems, incumbent interviews, supervisor interviews, expert panels, structured questionnaires, task inventories, checklists, open-ended questionnaires, observations and incumbent work logs. The purpose of job analysis is to establish and document the "job relatedness" of employment procedures such as training, selection, compensation and performance appraisal.
