Designed as a specialized, practical reference for human
resources professionals and students, this book fully explains both
how to prepare and how to use job descriptions. The author breaks
new ground by identifying a more extensive array of uses for job
descriptions than in previous works on the subject--132 major
management uses are discussed. Particular attention is given to
gathering data for job descriptions and developing
task/responsibility categories as an aid to understanding the
design of work. Sample job descriptions are included to illustrate
points made in the text. The author demonstrates the numerous ways
in which job descriptions can help management make better decisions
in each of the core areas of human resource management--job design,
reward system design, employee staffing, employee training, and
performance control. In addition, Grant addresses in detail the
many typical problems organizations have with job description
preparation and use, offering a wealth of suggestions for avoiding
these common pitfalls.
Finally, the book shows that the design of jobs can be
accurately depicted by job descriptions if attention is given to
key unconventional types of information such as task times and
priorities, non-work and semi-work activity, and unplanned work. An
especially valuable feature is the Appendix section which contains
model forms and questionnaires, log sheets, lists of objectives,
rules, regulations, policies, and more. Indispensable for personnel
administrators and specialists, this book is also a unique and
useful management tool for department and division heads throughout
the organization.
