FREE online courses on Job Analysis and Evaluation - Defining Job Analysis

 

Job analysis is a formal and detailed examination of jobs. It is a process of gathering information about a job. It tries to “reduce to words the things that people do in human work”. As stated by Richard Henderson (Compensation Management, Prentice Hall, 1994) the job analysis involves “the identification and precisely identifying the required tasks, the knowledge and the skills necessary for performing them and the conditions under which they must be performed.”
