Job Analysis Methods



Though there are various techniques for gathering job analysis data, the decision to use one or a
mix of approaches is based on the demands and requirements of the company as well as the job
analysis process's goals. Typically, all of the approaches focus on gathering fundamental job-
related information, but when used together, they can reveal hidden or ignored information and
prove to be useful tools for finding the right job-candidate match.

The structure of the organization, hierarchical levels, type of the work, and responsibilities and
obligations included in it all go into choosing an acceptable job analysis approach. So, before
implementing any approach, both benefits and drawbacks should be considered, since the data
gathered through this process is extremely useful in assisting firms in dealing with current
market trends, organizational changes, high attrition rates, and a variety of other day-to-day
issues.


Among the job analysis methodologies typically employed by firms to analyze the needs of a
certain job are the following:

        ðŸ‘‰     Interview Method
        ðŸ‘‰     Questionnaire Method
        ðŸ‘‰     Observation Method


        ðŸ‘‰     Interview Method

An employee is questioned in this approach to determine their own working methods, challenges
they experience, abilities and tactics they utilize while performing their job, and anxieties and
worries regarding their careers.

This strategy allows interviewers to learn how an employee feels about his or her own work and
the obligations that come with it. It entails the employee's own job analysis. Questions answered
during the interview should be carefully chosen in order to create honest and authentic feedback
or collect real data. And, to avoid mistakes, it's always a good idea to interview more than one
person to obtain a variety of replies. It may then be generalized and applied to the entire group.(managementstudyguide.com, 2022)

    Job analysis data is collected in several ways only by the specification of the person who is going to perform the job analysis.
    Another aspect of job analysis is to reflect on the technology used. Some technical methods of job analysis or methods are observation, interview, questionnaire, and other specialized methods of analysis. The techniques used in job analysis largely depend on the type of organization, its basic needs and circumstances.

Because it is based on first-hand experience, data gathered via observation is extremely helpful and dependable. An employee is observed and all of his or her completed and uncompleted tasks, fulfilled and unfulfilled obligations and duties, techniques, approaches, and skills utilized to do various chores, and mental or emotional competence to handle obstacles and hazards are all recorded by a job analyst.

Unfortunately, in many organizations the routine tasks (ex: meetings) have reduced the time and space for developing new ideas and innovating capabilities of employees.
