Job analysis Methods (Ployhart, 2011) (HI-PC-DOC)
  1. Hierarchal Task Analysis (job elements broken down from most general to specific)
    1. Interviews (between job holder and boss)
      1. Position Analysis Questionnaire (job analyst makes ratings of job based on prepared descriptors
        1. Critical incident technique (job holder explains when an objective was/wasn't met, provide background and effective or ineffective behaviours.
          1. Diaries (job holder reports on current tasks organised by times or specific activities
            1. Observation (from simple and unstructured to a time-sample checklist
              1. Checklist (job holder given a list of 100 tasks which he/she needs to say how important, how much time spent and difficult each is
    2. Classic Selection Process (JICS)
      1. Job analysis (determine tasks and behaviours to write job spec)
        1. Identify KSAOs (to specify type of person for job)
          1. Choose selection method
            1. Selection technique (evaluates candidate's KSAO and allows for candidate selection)
        2. Competencies (COAALSIE)
          1. Creating/Conceptualising (works well when required to open ideas, creative and innovative
            1. Organising (works systematically and follows directions/procedures)
              1. Analysing (gets to heart of complex issues and applies own expertise effectively
                1. Leading/deciding (takes control, initiates action and gives direction
                  1. Supporting/cooperating (supports others, puts people first, behaves consistently with clear personal values that complement org's values
                    1. Interacting (persuades others confidently, networks effectively
                      1. Enterprising (focuses on results, shows understanding of business, seeks development and advancement opportunity
                  2. Adopting/coping(to change and copes with setbacks)
              2. Problems with competencies (lack of clarity in use and definition (are they one's drive to perform or requirement for good job performance), competencies often listed in pairs that correlate highly and list charateristics that have little in common)
            2. May seem objective, but closer analysis shows that process can be subjective as it involves inductive reasoning and potentially guesswork
              1. Task oriented job analysis techniques break down job into parts, while behaviour oriented job analysis identifies behaviours needed to do job proficiently. Difficult to do this as jobholder might say "I need a clear overview" or "need to grasp info correctly", is this behaviours needed to do job well or what they think is needed? More research needs to be done on the psychology of how behavioural tasks or personal characteristics are identified, and steps needed to ensure validity of these processes (Woodruffe, 1993)
