Functional Job Analysis

Functional Job Analysis (FJA) is a method used to evaluate and understand a job by breaking down the tasks and responsibilities involved. It looks at what the worker does, how they do it, and why it’s done, focusing on specific functions like data handling, decision-making, and physical actions. This approach helps organizations clearly define job roles, improve hiring, training, and performance evaluation, ensuring that jobs are well-structured and aligned with organizational goals. Essentially, FJA provides a detailed, systematic picture of a job’s core functions to support better management and workforce planning.
