Topic: Job Analysis

A job analysis is very important for an organization. Without a job analysis, a HR manger would not know the essential job functions or how each function was performed. They would also not know who to hire for the job. Certain jobs fit certain people and/or personalities and it is important to find the right person for the job. On top of all this, it is important to find someone who is educated and has the right experience for the position. Putting all these together will help create a successful job hire. “Human resource management (HRM) has been widely considered an important way to enhance organizational performance” (Fremeaux, Michelson, 2017). Without human resource management, we would be lost from an organizational perspective. I believe all aspect, or the working environment are changing and changing for the good. They may not be traditional methods but that is because people have many different ways of coming to the same conclusion and that is okay as long as there is a positive result. “Researchers face a challenge in recognizing that management behavior may not be aligned with traditional methods of collecting data about HR practices” (Guest, 2011). Again, this is okay as long as the conclusions being made are still in favor of the organization as a whole.

There are two tools I would use that would be helpful in my consulting project. They would be to develop a personality-based job analysis and a team-based job analysis. Both of these are extremely important because you want your workforce to be diverse but also be able to work together to achieve organizational goals. Contextual performance is extremely important. These are the tasks that are not listed on your job performance requirements but are essential to being successful. “Some examples of contextual behaviors are coming to work on time, working overtime on short notice when unexpected problems arise, helping others when needed, minimizing or solving conflicts within the work group, and training or mentoring newcomers (Guion & Highhouse, 2006) (Pynes, Lombardi, 2011, p. 173). These are essential to a workforce and that is why it is important to develop a personality-based analysis and a team-based analysis. “Remark, Schmit, and Guion (1997) developed an instrument based on twelve personality dimensions: general leadership, interest in negotiation, achievement striving, friendly disposition, sensitivity to others, collaborative work tendency, general trustworthiness, adherence to work ethic, attention to details, desire to generate ideas, tendency to think things through, and emotional stability” (Pynes, Lombardi, 2011, p. 173-174). These are all important and all play a role in hiring an employee that will fit in with organizational goals and be successful. Team-based analysis are also important because you want the right type of people, but you also want them to be able to work in teams and be successful especially in health care. Health care is not a business where one person can do it all. Everyone has to work together so a team-based job analysis would be extremely important when hiring new employees. Collaboration between a diverse group of people is key to being successful in health care.

Ephesians 4:29 says, “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” We need to not put others down but work with them. That is what God wants from us; to work with others to achieve the goals He has laid for us.
