A key decision when preparing to conduct a job analysis is determining which job analysis methods to use to collect job data. Those new to job analysis may find it difficult navigating the available methods and deciding which ones to use.
This tool makes determining which methods to use easier by identifying three recommended methods to use based on:
- Main purpose of the job analysis
- Aspects of the job being analyzed
- Practical considerations including time and resources
- Aspects of the organizational environment
Take some of the guesswork out of identifying which job analysis methods would be appropriate to use. Anyone, particularly HR professionals and department managers, needing assistance when navigating job analysis sources will find the tool useful.
