Sample Job Analysis Questionnaires to Define the Duties of a New Job
The attached file contains two sample job analysis questionnaires. The
first is geared to clerical and administrative positions. The second
relates to employees who will be called on to manage people and make
decisions affecting your business. Consider either a starting point in
examining the needs of your business. Either form can and should be
tailored to reflect your situation. The items listed may be right on
point, or they may suggest other activities that are more relevant to
your business.

Job Analysis: An Important Employment Tool
All hiring decisions and supervisory evaluations should be made on
objective criteria. A supervisor needs to know each job under his or
her supervision, and the qualifications needed to perform it, to
develop objective interview questions and objectively evaluate an
employee s performance. Human resource specialists who are responsible
for initial screening of job applicants and mediating performance
appraisal disputes must also understand the key components of the jobs
in their organization.
Job analysis provides an objective basis for hiring, evaluating,
training, accommodating and supervising persons with disabilities, as
well as improving the efficiency of your organization. It is a logical
process to determine (1) purpose-the reason for the job, (2) essential
functions-the job duties which are critical or fundamental to the
performance of the job, (3) job setting-the work station and
conditions where the essential functions are performed, and (4) job
qualifications-the minimal skills an individual must possess to
perform the essential functions. A job analysis describes the job, not
the person who fills it.

Simple Job Analysis
Job analysis is the systematic analysis of an existing or proposed
position or group of positions within an organization. Understanding
and being able to perform good job analysis is an essential human
resource function forming the basis of selection, promotion, training,
and etc. It is the best way to establish what exists, is good and
should be changed. Without a job analysis or needs assessment human
resources is a stab in the dark, at best, and probably a waste of time
and money.
Practical Job analysis which can be used anywhere (more artful than scientific)

Employee Task and Job Analysis
First, let's look at some terms. A job is a collection of tasks and
responsibilities that an employee is responsible to conduct. Jobs have
titles. A task is a typically defined as a unit of work, that is, a
set of activities needed to produce some result, e.g., vacuuming a
carpet, writing a memo, sorting the mail, etc. Complex positions in
the organization may include a large number of tasks, which are
sometimes referred to as functions. Job descriptions are lists of the
general tasks, or functions, and responsibilities of a position.
Typically, they also include to whom the position reports,
specifications such as the qualifications needed by the person in the
job, salary range for the position, etc. Job descriptions are usually
developed by conducting a job analysis, which includes examining the
tasks and sequences of tasks necessary to perform the job. The
analysis looks at the areas of knowledge and skills needed by the job.
Note that a role is the set of responsibilities or expected results
associated with a job. A job usually includes several roles.
