Job Analysis & Performance Management
JA is fundamental to Performance Management
‘Trying to manage your employees without knowing what tasks
they are supposed to perform is MBI
(Management by Ignorance)!’Holmes - S3 2016 4
Analysis and design of work
Objectives:
Analyse a work-flow process, identifying the output,
activities and inputs in the production of a product or
service.
Understand the importance of job analysis in human
resource management.
Choose the right job analysis technique for a variety of
human resource activities.
Identify the tasks performed and the skills required in a
given job.Challenges in Collecting Data
Time-Determined Challenges
Person-Determined Challenges &
Situation-Determined Challenges.
Holmes - S3 2016 5Checklist…
Before choosing a data gathering method, there
is a checklist of things to consider:
What do I want to do with the results?
What resources (money, programs, computer
support, expert personnel, time) are available to
me?
How many jobholders do I have to access?
What information is already available?
What methods are best to use?
Holmes - S3 2016 6Job Analysis
Holmes - S3 2016 7Job analysis
Job analysis:
• A systematic investigation of the tasks, duties and
responsibilities of a job and the necessary knowledge,
skills and abilities a person needs to perform the job
adequately.Job analysis
Components:
Job content
• Duties
• Responsibilities
of the job
• Detailed
descriptions of
tasks and
procedural
Job
requirements
• Formal
qualifications,
• knowledge,
skills, abilities

supporting
information
regarding the
particular jobJob Analysis Process

Job analysis objective
The purpose of job analysis is collection for:
• Job description
• Job specification
• Job design
• HR activities: recruitment , selection
Type of information to be collected
• What is performed?
• Where is it performed?
• How is it performed?
• Why is it performed?
• When is it performed?
Source of data
• Job incumbent
• Supervisor
• Job analyst
• Experts
• Records/fiels/manuals
• Plan and blueprints

method2. Quantification
What form of results to I want to achieve?
Will I use Quantitative or Qualitative methods?
Holmes - S3 2016 143. Structure
Will I use:
Open ended (for example, interviews) or
Closed methods (for example, job specific
checklists)?
Holmes - S3 2016 15Open & Closed Questions
Example - Open Ended Question
Holmes - S3 2016 164. Packaging
Will we use:
Pre-packaged (already designed) systems or
Devise our own self-designed / do it-yourself
methods?
Holmes - S3 2016 175. Sophistication
Will our chosen methods be:
Sophisticated (requiring special training); or
Straight forward techniques?
Holmes - S3 2016 186. Proximity to Jobs
How easily can I access the positions I need to
review?
Where are they located? – In the same building,
Interstate, Overseas?
Can I utilise technology in some way to analyse
a specific position?
Holmes - S3 2016 197. Applicability
Do the JA methods chosen apply to all jobs in
the organisation?
Does this Job Analysis method have wide or
narrow application?
Will I have to utilise more than one JA method or
technique?
Holmes - S3 2016 208. Sensitivity
Is the method chosen:
Adaptable (able to cope with recording subtle
aspects of the jobs) or
Inflexible?
Holmes - S3 2016 21Common Job Analysis Methods
Observation
Self-description - diaries/logs
Critical incident reports
Checklists/inventories
Hierarchal task analysis
Job-learning analysis
Work profiling system
The Position Analysis
Questionnaire (PAQ)
Holmes - S3 2016 221. Observation
This is direct one-on one observation of an
employee performing their job.
The analyst can interact with them whilst
observing their role.
Holmes - S3 2016 232. Self-description (Diaries and log books)
This method requires the employee to document
all their daily actions and activities – where their
jobs/tasks are quite varied.
Reports are then reviewed.
Holmes - S3 2016 242. Self-description (Diaries and log books)
Holmes - S3 2016 25Critical Incident Technique
This method is the process of describing and
analysing critical incidents in order to get an
insight into key aspects of a particular job.
This JA method is often used with large groups
of employees who perform the same roles.
It must be used in conjunction with another
method – as it is a measure of how well an
employee is performing and carrying out
selected aspects of their tasks.
Holmes - S3 2016 26Critical Incident Technique
Thus the analyst needs to already have existing
data about the specified jobs on which to
measure the employees performance.
Holmes - S3 2016 27Holmes - S3 2016 28Checklists/Inventories
These techniques are a very structured method.
The content of checklists can be made up by the
individual organisation (self-designed) or a pre-
packaged ‘performance checklist’ computer
software program that can be purchased for
various job roles and occupations.
Holmes - S3 2016 29Holmes - S3 2016 30Hierarchical Task Analysis
Hierarchical Task Analysis is a method where
we break down jobs or areas of work into a
hierarchical set of tasks and sub-tasks.
These tasks are usually defined in terms of
objectives or end products (outcomes – what is
achieved).
Holmes - S3 2016 31Job-Learning Analysis
JLA is a structured job-analysis questionnaire –
describing the job in terms of nine (9) learning
skills which contribute to the satisfactory
performance of the job.
Physical Skills
Complex procedures required
Non-verbal skills
Memorising abilityHC2101 Performance Management For HR代写
Holmes - S3 2016 32Job-Learning Analysis
Planning ability
Pro-active - ability to forward plan
Self management / motivation
Interpretation ability
Ability to adapt to new ideas / systems.
Holmes - S3 2016 33Work Profiling System
WPS is a pre-designed structured JA package
that consists of three (3) separate
questionnaires that relate to different categories
of work:
Managerial / Professional;
Service / Administrative;
Manual / Technical.
Holmes - S3 2016 34Work Profiling System
Each questionnaire is structured in two parts.
Part One establishes the main tasks of the job
and
Part Two examines the work context in which
the job is performed.
Holmes - S3 2016 35The Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ)
The PAQ is a structured questionnaire and the
most common packaged Job Analysis
Technique in use today.
It identifies 194 job elements grouped into 6
categories:
1. Information input
2. Mental Processes
3. Work output
4. Relationships with other persons
5. Job Context
6. Other job characteristics
Holmes - S3 2016 36Holmes - S3 2016 37In Summary

appropriate data gathering method to conduct a
job analysis.
Eight guidelines which form a framework for
choosing a JTR method.
Eight common job analysis methods in use in
organisations today.
