Steps in Job Analysis

Step 1: Decide how you'll use the information.

Step 2: Review relevant background information.

Step 3: Select representative positions.

Step 4: Actually analyze the job.

Step 5: Verify the job analysis information.

Step 6: Develop a job description and job specification.
DATA COLLECTION METHODS
The choice of method is influenced by the data collection strategy, the type of variable, the accuracy required, the
collection point and the skill of the enumerator. Links between a variable, its source and practical methods for its
collection (Table 6.1, Table 6.2 and Table 6.3) can help in choosing appropriate methods. The main data collection
methods are:
Questionnaires: forms which are completed and returned by respondents. An inexpensive method that is useful
where literacy rates are high and respondents are co-operative.
Interviews: forms which are completed through an interview with the respondent. More expensive than
questionnaires, but they are better for more complex questions, low literacy or less co-operation.
Direct observations: making direct measurements is the most accurate method for many variables, such as catch,
but is often expensive. Many methods, such as observer programmes, are limited to industrial fisheries.
Reporting: the main alternative to making direct measurements is to require fishers and others to report their
activities. Reporting requires literacy and co-operation, but can be backed up by a legal requirement and direct
measurements.
Job Design

Job design means to decide the contents of a job. It fixes the duties and responsibilities of the job, the methods of doing the job
and the relationships between the job holder (manager) and his superiors, subordinates and colleagues.

Job scheduling
Schedule rules are used to control job execution. Jobs are scheduled to run, for instance, at specific
intervals. When the schedule time occurs, the job will be executed by one of the runtime engines
controlled by dispatchers located on one or more computers. The engine runs the job and processes
the data as described in the job. When it is finished, it updates the job's state in the Identity Center
database.
