TEXT 2
A basic activity of HR managers is collecting information to use in making job-related decisions about individuals. Most HR programs use some combination of three types of information: job characteristics, worker qualifications, and job performance.
Job analysis is the systematic process of gathering information about important work-related aspects of a job. It identifies the first of two types of information, which includes the tasks that make up the job; the worker knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed on the job; the information, equipment, and materials used; and the working conditions.
Table 1 provides some example task statements and KSAs that are appropriate for the position of regional sales manager.
Performance appraisal, discussed in a later section, is the process of collecting the third type of information, job performance of individual employees.
