Job Analysis

Question

Job Analysis

There are six methods identified for collecting job analysis information: observation, performing actual job tasks, interviews, critical incident identification, work diaries, and job analysis questionnaires. Consider each and describe a shortcoming of each of the methods. Assuming that you would use three methods in a single project to collect job analysis information, which of the three methods listed above would you use? In what order would you arrange these methods (i.e., which type of data would you gather first, then second, then last)? Why would you use this order?
