Read the following text
1 ……………………..
Human Resource (HR) management is a field that has evolved a great deal since
its beginnings about 1900. Personnel Departments, as they were called, began
as a primarily clerical operation that is concerned with payroll, employee
records, and arranging community visits. In the 1990s, globalization,
competition, mergers, and acquisitions forced Human Resource departments to
become more concerned with costs, planning, and the implications of various
HR strategies for both organizations and their employees.

UNIT TWO
JOB ANALYSIS
Let’s discuss
Reading Task
1 ………………………………………………
2 ………………………
There are two different approaches to job analysis. One approach
looks at the
tasks performed in jobs, while the other approach focuses on the
Course in English for Human Resources – SAMS 2016- 2017
competencies
needed to perform jobs satisfactorily.
3………………………….
Task-based job analysis is the most common form and focuses on the
tasks, duties, and responsibilities performed in a job. A task is the
smallest identifiable and essential piece of a job and is often used as an
alternative term for activity, whereas a duty is a larger work segment
composed of several tasks that are performed by an individual.
4………………………….
Unlike the traditional approach to analyzing jobs, which identifies the
tasks,
duties, knowledge, and skills associated with a job, the competency
approach
considers how the knowledge and skills are used. The competency
approach
also attempts to identify the hidden factors that are often critical to
superior performance.
5…………………………
Job analysis information about what people are doing in their jobs can
be gathered in a variety of ways. Common methods are observation,
interviews, questionnaires, and others. In job analysis conducted by HR
professionals, it is common to use more than one of these methods.
6………………………
The output from analysis of a job is used to develop a job description
and its job specifications. Together, they summarize job analysis
information in a readable format and provide the basis for defensible
job-related actions.
In most cases, the job description and job specifications are combined
into
one document that contains various sections.
D- Understanding details:
6- Which of the following is not TRUE about job description and job
specifications?
a- Both are brief statements of information gathered by job analysis
b- They are similar in their content
c- They may be written in the same document
