Job Analysis Methods

Job analysis methods are techniques used to gather detailed information about a job's responsibilities, skills, and requirements. Common methods include interviews with employees and supervisors, where insights are collected directly; questionnaires, which are surveys that gather standardized information; observation, where analysts watch employees perform their tasks; and reviewing existing job descriptions and documents. These methods help organizations understand what a job entails, ensuring accurate hiring, training, and compensation. Combining multiple techniques provides a comprehensive view of the job's nature and required competencies.
