Job design.

The job description contains activities, responsibilities and objectives to be achieved. The specification outlines the skills, traits and aptitudes necessary for the desired level of performance, and should be written in indicative terms so that the evidence needed for effective assessment can be collected. Sometimes the job design is not done correctly, which means, that how job is built up not only affects performance levels, it also influences the satisfaction obtained by the post-holder. Well-designed jobs can motivate people and accommodate their personal and career development. They also can make employer to look forward at how its objectives can be achieved.

Poor job design can lead to unfair treatment and discrimination. This refers to the part time jobs where, holders are unable to perform the whole range of tasks available to full timers or have limited access to the development opportunities.

Good job design must be started with the initial analysis of what the organization requires in terms of its business plans. It should be more than a look at past, successful performance. It should be related closely to the future needs of the organization and its operations in terms of following:

Can be reasonably expected of the post-holder

Will be required in future to maintain success

Needs to be to achieve new objectives

Will lead to improved individual and organizational performance

The first stage of the analysis presents the opportunity for past assumptions and historical models to be challenged. We are building up the pictures of the type of people we think are best suited to certain jobs and places in the organization. These pictures are limited by our own experiences of people and images of t we will most likely lead to future success.

This certain images are vast, as their based on incomplete information, prejudices, and false assumptions. If new job descriptions and employee specifications are based on the requirements of the job to be done in the future, some of the traditional stereotypes can be eliminated.

Once the vacancy came out, in general its accepted that the first stage in recruiting the person to fill it is to prepare the job description – but really it should be a second step. The first should be the design of job, since its more than a collection of tasks. It should have meaning and purpose. It must be related to the objective and the part of organization in which it is located. It should also capable of being done by human being. A job can be impossible to perform in following ways:

Its poor design make individual feel not be successful

Its component tasks can be disjointed and unrelated.

If there too many duties or too few, it may be senseless

It can be unrewarding, so that employee is demotivated

The range of skills required can be too wide to be found in any one individual.
