Discuss the relationship between job analysis, job descriptions, and job specifications.

What will be an ideal response?


Job analysis is the process of determining what the position entails (job description) and the qualifications needed (job specifications) to staff the position. The job analysis also results in a job title for the position. The job description, which is based on the outcome of the job analysis, identifies the tasks and responsibilities of a position. The job description should identify skills needed and gives you and the applicant a clear understanding of the expectations in performing the job so that everyone “really” knows what the position entails. Based on the job description, you determine job specifications. Job specifications identify the qualifications needed by the person who is to fill a position. The job specifications identify the types of people needed.
