Week 5 Assignment: Job Analysis Data Collection, Analysis, and Documentation
Overview
In this assignment, you will build upon the job-oriented and worker-oriented information you obtained from the Week 3 assignment and will gain firsthand experience with job analysis data collection, analysis, and technical documentation. In your documentation, you will summarize the steps you took for this assignment and the results, and make a recommendation for at least one type of selection assessment to measure important KSAOs based on your job analysis results.
Choose one of the following two options for this assignment.
• Option 1: Job Analysis Questionnaire and Analysis.
• Option 2: Job Observation and Analysis.
Both options will be graded on the same criteria. Select the best option for you to have access to the appropriate job experts. Collect data as soon as possible. You can build upon data collected during Week 3 or early in Week 4 for this assignment. The Additional Requirements are the same for each option.
Option 1: Job Analysis Questionnaire and Analysis
The purpose of a JAQ is to gather quantitative data from job experts to identify critical tasks and KSAOs for successful performance on the job.
Data Collection and Analysis/Interpretation
Complete the following:
• Create a JAQ, including the 10–15 tasks and 10–15 competencies or KSAOs from the Week 3 assignment.
• Administer the JAQ to 3–5 job expert incumbents in the job.
• Enter JAQ ratings into a spreadsheet such as Excel or statistical software such as SPSS, and compute the mean and standard deviation.
• Identify the critical tasks by applying a cutoff of “3 = important” for mean task importance ratings.
• Identify the critical competencies for selection purposes by applying a cutoff of “3 = important” and “2 = needed at entry.”
o A competency must meet both cutoffs to inform selection procedures.
• Create a linkage matrix to make judgments about which KSAOs are needed to perform each task based on your review of your job analysis results. You may also refer to your interview notes from the Week 3 assignment.
o Use the linkage matrix format provided in Resources.
• Tally the linkages to count the number of tasks to which each KSAO is linked.
o Use the worksheet and table template provided in the resources.
o Make a judgment of the most important KSAOs for selection based on:
 The number of tasks for which it is needed.
 The JAQ results (importance, needed at entry).
 Note if any tasks are linked to many KSAOs; those tasks may be considered to simulate in selection assessment procedures.
Documentation
Write a 2–4 page job analysis report (plus an appendix). In your report, include:
• A brief summary of:
o The job that was analyzed as a foundation for selection procedures.
o The job expert’s qualifications.
o The job analysis data collection methodology used, including how the surveys were administered and under what conditions, such as email or on hard-copy mailing.
o How many JAQs were distributed and how many were received (response rate).
o A summary of the results of your analysis.
 You are required to administer 3–5 JAQs.
 You might not get a 100 percent response rate.
 Tips to increase response rate include sending a reminder if you are having difficulty getting at least three responses, trying to administer it in person if possible, or giving a short time frame to return the survey to you (48 hours).
 You may administer the survey early for the best likelihood of response in case you need to give them more time or if you need to distribute more JAQs.
 If you still do not get at least three participants after making additional effort, document the challenges, how you handled the challenges, and what you would have done differently, and report the results you were able to obtain.
• Citations for at least two scholarly sources that support the job analysis methodology you used, as well as at least one professional standard. For example, “Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures” or SIOP “Principles for the Validation and Use of Selection Procedures”.
• Three tables within your document to summarize your results.
o A table with the full task list and the mean importance rating for each task. Make a notation for the critical tasks.
o A table that lists only the critical KSAOs that are also needed at entry.
 The detailed summary with the mean ratings for the two rating scales will be shown in the appendix. Refer to the description of Appendix A below.
 Remember the critical tasks or KSAOs are the most important tasks that meet your cutoff threshold. If all of your tasks and/or all of your KSAOs have a mean of “3 = important” or higher (which can happen in practice), make a notation in your tables to identify the most important tasks or KSAOs, such as those with a rating of “4 = very important or higher.”
 Describe the results in words to summarize the tables. For example, note any important KSAOs that are not needed at entry, and what that means for selection purposes.
o A KSAO linkage summary table.
 See the Example Linkage Table Report sheet in the Week 5 Templates, Worksheets, and Tutorials Excel workbook provided in the resources.
 Identify the KSAOs that were linked to the most tasks and note any tasks that were linked in many KSAOs.
• A concluding paragraph on how the job analysis methods and the results from your study can be applied to inform selection procedures. Recommend at least one type of selection assessment or procedure based on your job analysis results, for example, cognitive ability, biodata, structured interview, or situational judgment test.
• Appendix A: Complete KSAO results with mean importance rating and mean needed at entry rating for each KSAO JAQ item.
Be sure to follow current APA style and formatting in your report. Make sure the information you present is organized, is professional, and provides appropriate context for a business leader or organizational decision-maker.
