Methods of Conducting/Collecting Job Analysis Information

The systematic exploration of the activities within a job is called Job Analysis. This
analysis involves the identification and description of what is happening on the job.
It is a technical procedure used to define a job’s duties, responsibilities, and
accountabilities. The basic methods by which HRM can determine job elements and
skills for successful performance include the following:

1. Observation Method: The data are gathered by watching


employee work. This technique can give a first hand data,
but in practical implement it may be confused when it is
observed.

2. Individual Interview: Meeting with an employee and


inquire about his job responsibilities comes under personal
interview technique. This method is effective and provides
first hand data yet it is tough and time when it comes to
large scale of job analysis.

3. Group Interview: Meeting a group of employee to

determine their respective job. The information we gather
through this method can be accurate but group dynamic
may deviate individual opinions.

4. Structure Questionnaire Method: The HR staff design a particular


questionnaire which comprise of open-ended and close-ended
questions about employees task on job to be floated to the
respondents to get the feedback. This is the professional way of
conducting job analysis survey but it lacks to clarify any of the
feedback or to ask any follow up questions.

5. Technical Conference Method: This technique can be compared to a focus


group in which particular job experts and job analysts are being asked about
certain job activities and job responsibilities. This method can be effective
when you are conducting job analysis for some generic job position but this
method may be abortive for a particular position in a particular company.

6. Log Records/Daily Diary: The company can ask employees to


maintain log records/daily diary and job analysis can be done on the
basis of information collected from the record. The log record is a
book in which employee records/writes all the activities performed
by him on the job.
