Discussion Board: Purpose and process of Job analysis

 

Read the article Conducting Thorough Job Analyses and Drafting Lawful Job Descriptions attached below. 

Identify the purpose of job analysis (why it is done) and the steps an employer uses to draft a legally defensible job description (how they are done).

Then discuss the legal importance of a well-defined job description, including at least one citation and reference in your initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.

Part 1: Post a Response

 

Organizations from time to time must make hard decisions (expand,  layoff employees or close a facility). As a manager you will have to use  work experiences, advice from supervisors and the organizational  culture to support your decision. Organizational culture is the sum of  the values and beliefs shared among employees.

Suppose you are a manager who is faced with having to reduce  headcount (layoff one of your two employees) in your unit. Sales within  the company have declined due to the downward spiral of the economy each  department within the organization is faced with making the same  decision. Fortunately, you only have to cut one job; others are reducing  more.

Mary is in her mid-20s, single, college graduate,  she is very hard working and was in the top 10% of the performance  ratings this year, she constantly volunteers to travel, work weekends  and evenings. However, she supports political causes that could be  viewed as contrary to the goals of the company.

Alice is in her mid-40s, has two young children,  her husband is a doctor, her performance is good, and she has above  average performance reviews. However, she has limited availability on  weekends and limitations onovernight travel due to her volunteer work  with local charities.

  • As a manager who would you select to layoff and why?
  • What other factors can be used to decide who gets laid off in organizations?
  • How should an organization choose between a decision that is  legal and in the best financial interests of the organization, but which  could be viewed as unethical?
