Job Analysis identifies which tasks employees currently perform on their job, what KSAs they need to be trained on, and what critical incidents employees deal with on the job. job analysis information can be gathered from differing SME’s (subject matter experts). Job incumbents, supervisors, and other SME’s (e.g., customers, clients, patients) often give different information about the tasks and KSAOs required for a job.
In this week’s discussion, you will address the following questions in your initial post:Explain why you think this happens. (think outside the box).
Do you think the disagreement between supervisors and incumbents represents a lack of reliability and/or validity?.
What implications does this have for doing a good job analysis?
Should job analysts collect their information from just one source or across all sources? Why?
How can this issue be addressed? There are no right or wrong answers to this question. (Recommendation: review chapter 2 prior to answering this question)
