Hi Preeth,
I do accept your opinion and herein i give my question. 8)
But at the same time, i believe, giving an objective type of question will not help in achieving the purpose of this quiz. Objective type questions will not help us much to know more about HR concepts.
Your comments on this is welcome. :D
What is job analysis? What methods are available to do it? Brief on them. :?:

Hi Lavanya,
As I mentioned earlier, you can see the replies you have received for your question, for Job Analysis. No one will have time to reply such a brief answer, and and answer vague question.
I am not saying this to hurt you anyway. Your intention of people learn in depth on the topic is appreciable, but no one will show interested and answer in such long descriptive way. That is the reason I am telling everyone to post question which is necessarily objective type or where the answer can be short.
Hi all,
Any answers for Lavanya's question

Hi all,
Ans to Lavanya's question on Job Analysis (JA)-
As the name suggests, it is a process for finding the details about a particular job – what is involved in that (duties and requirements) and the relative importance of these duties.
The various aspects of Jobs that are analysed are: Duties and Tasks; Work Environment; Tools and Equipments; Relationships (with internal and external customers) and Requirements (typically minimum requirements of KSA’s needed to perform a job).
The emphasis is on the JOB rather than on PERSON as in Competency based approach to Job Requirements. The final outcome/result of JA is JD. The JA is then linked to other HR functions like selection, training, compensation and performance appraisal.
The data is collected and then judgment is made about it. The methods are various:
• Structured Questionnaires
• Observation
• Expert panels
• Open-ended questionnaires
• Supervisor’s interview
• Task inventories
• Incumbent interviews
• Incumbent work logs
• Check-lists
• Review of Job classification systems
All above are known to many of us and are mostly self-explanatory as the name suggest. The typical method is using a questionnaire.
The last one is sounding slightly unusual, so going a bit into that. There are various JOB CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS, and some are-
Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO): A skill-based classification of occupations which are used as the Australian national standard for producing and analyzing labor force statistics, HRM, and the listing of job applicants and vacancies.
Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT): The U.S. Employment Service collects information from various sources to compile a dictionary of occupational definitions where jobs are assigned 5- or 6- digit codes which are then placed in different occupational groups. Latest edition of DOT was published in 1977, containing 2,100 definitions.
O*Net: The Occupational Information Network, gives you the changes to DOT reflecting latest research in the field of JA.
U.S. Standard Occupational classification System: This manual was created by BLS field economists which is available to public.
Thanks and bybye

Job analysis provides important inputs to the recruiting function in two ways.
First, job analysis provides job specifications, the personal requirements deemed necessary to perform each job in an organization. This tells planners and recruiters exactly what skills, abilities, experience, and other physical characteristics will be needed for certain jobs.
Second, complete and accurate job descriptions are essential for the preparation of recruiting materials, which convey information to potential applicants about the nature of the job
