Job description is a written statement that shows what exactly required for the job in term of skills, training, experience, qualification needed to carry out the job. 13Human Resource Managment

Collection of job analysis information: There are three phases of job analysis information: 1) Identify the job to be analyzed: 2) Develop job analysis questioner: 3) Data Collection: 14Human Resource Managment

1) Identify the job to be analyzed: First of all we need to identify the job that we are going to analyze. What is the nature of the job? Here we identify the duties and responsibilities that concern with the job. For example for marketing officer, what will be the duties and responsibilities of this employee? 15Human Resource Managment

2)Develop job analysis questioner: After job identification than we develop job analysis questioner to collect information regarding the job that we are going to analyzed. Here the job holders are given a properly designed questioner aimed at eliciting relevant job related information. 16Human Resource Managment

3) Collect job Analysis information: The job analyst can not collect all the data through job analysis questionnaire, for that purpose they collect information through other sources. 17Human Resource Managment

a) Interview: The interview methods consists of asking question from job holders. The reason behind the use of this methods is that job holders are most familiar with the job so they can provide better information regarding the job. The supervisor also provide information to the interviewer about the job. 18Human Resource Managment

b) Panel of expert: In this method the analyst conduct an interview with most senior employees and their supervisor to collect information regarding the job. This group discussion can provide better information as compare to individual interview. 19Human Resource Managment

e) Observation Method In this method the analyst personally observe the activities of job holders doing the job. The analyst observe the activities of job holder and collect information, that how he is performing his job. 22Human Resource Managment

f) Combinations: When each methods has some fault, analyst often rely on combinations. In combination method the analyst use two or more than two methods at same time. 23Human Resource Managment

Application of job analysis information: The job analysis information help us in three basic areas. 1) Job Descriptions: 2) Job Specification: 3) Job standards: 24Human Resource Managment

1) Job Description: A job description is a written statement of what the job holder done, how it is done, under what conditions it is done and why it is done. It describe what the job is all about, throwing light on job content, environment and conditions of employment.

When an employee perform the job, they measured the job with job performance standard, if it come excellent it means employee perform the job very well. 31Human Resource Managment

Job Design Job design, is a way of organizing tasks, duties and responsibilities into a productive unit of the work. While designing work, HR managers should take care of organizational requirements in term of timely completion, high quality, better use of resources etc. 32Human Resource Managment

Element of job design Organizational Element: Organizational element include the following: a) Mechanistic approach: b) Work flow: c) Work practices: d) Ergonomics: 33Human Resource Managment

a)Mechanistic approach: The mechanist approach involves identifying every task in a job so that tasks can be arranged to minimize the time and effort expended by workers. Once task identification is complete, a limited number of tasks are grouped into a job. 34Human Resource Managment

b)Work flow: Here they arrange the task in a proper sequence for simplicity. Once the sequence of jobs is determine, the balance between jobs is established. When they collect all these task it form a proper job. For example a plant manager will perform all the task in proper sequence, the flow of work should be in proper way. 35Human Resource Managment

c) Work practices: Work practices are set ways of performing work. Means how the employees will perform their duties. These methods may arise from tradition or the collective wishes of employees. For example here office timing start 8 o'clock. So traditionally all organization follow it. 36Human Resource Managment

d) Ergonomics Optimal productivity requires that the physical relationship between the worker and the work be considered in designing the job. Ergonomics is the study of how human beings physically interface with their equipment. 37Human Resource Managment

2)Environmental Element a) Employee ability and availability. b) Social and cultural expectation. 38Human Resource Managment

a) Employee ability and availability: When we are going to design the job for the employee, we should be careful about the ability and availability of that employees to whom we are going to design the job. Means the job that we want to design, the employees have the ability to perform and these employees are available in the market are not. 39Human Resource Managment

b)Social and culture expectation When we are going to design the job social and culture expectation should be follow. Means what basically our society and culture want from us. For example for sale person we cannot design such a job for a female. Because in our society and culture female can not perform such activities. 40Human Resource Managment

3)Behavioral Element: When we are going to design the job we will look to behavioral element of the employees. Which include the flowing: a) Autonomy. b) Variety. c) task identity. d) Feedback. 41Human Resource Managment

a) Autonomy: Autonomy is the responsibility for work that employee has to perform. The responsibility that we are going to hand over to an employee so does that employee has authority also to perform the job. So when we are designing the job we will provide autonomy for better efficiency. 42Human Resource Managment

b) Variety: When we are going to design a job we will look different Varity of skills and abilities that are required for the job. Means which type of skills and ability are required to perform well that job. 43Human Resource Managment

c)Task identity: When we are going to design the job, we have to identify the task that are related to that job. Here we will divide the job in small task to make it clear for the employees, to achieve the job efficiently and effectively. 44Human Resource Managment

d) Feedback When we are designing the job, it should be clear enough that the job holder receiving information from the job. Mean he know what he is doing for what purpose he is doing. If the job holder didn’t understand about their duties and responsibilities than he can not perform well their job. 45Human Resource Managment

Techniques of job Redesigning The manager and job designer use two techniques for redesigning the job. a) Under specialization: b) Overspecialization: 46Human Resource Managment

a) Under specialization: When jobs are not specialized enough, job designers engaged in work simplification. To make the job more simple and easy for the job holder. For example an office assistant perform different activities so the job designer identify only important task and eliminate unnecessary task to make more simple his job for better performance. 47Human Resource Managment

b) Over specialization The jobs that are very specialized, than the manager and job designer use variety of methods to improve these jobs. a) job rotation: b) job enlargement: c) job enrichment: 48Human Resource Managment

a) Job rotation: In job rotation the employees are moved from one job to another job. Here the workers are rotated to enhance their skills and abilities to perform well their duties and responsibilities. Through this workers become more competent and learn more techniques to perform well the assign task. 49Human Resource Managment

b) Job enlargement: Job enlargement means expanding the number of related task in a job. Assigning more duties and responsibilities in a given job. So through this way the job designer redesign the job for an employee to add more similar task into a given job. 50Human Resource Managment

c) Job enrichment: Providing more authority and responsibility in to a given job is called job enrichment. Some time manager decide to give more authority and responsibility to employees for better performance. Through this way they redesign the job. 51Human Resource Managment
