Job Design
For this assignment, you will create the job description using the information from your Job Analysis assignment in Week 2. The job analysis is a critical step in the process for a job description to be reliable and useful. Remember, as an HR leader, you would typically have input from more than one position questionnaire to complete a job analysis.
Prior to beginning work on this assignment,
- Read Chapters 2 and 3 in the textbook, Job and Work Analysis.
- You may consider reviewing Chapter 4 in the textbook, Job and Work Analysis.
Using the job analysis that you conducted for the Week 2 assignment,
- Determine the appropriate design for the position.
