Importance Of The Fleishman Job Analysis Survey

Decent Essays
I will utilize the Fleishman Job Analysis Survey (F-JAS) to conduct a job analysis for a phlebotomist because this job analysis instrument provides 73 knowledge and skill abilities in just 5 categories. It establishes the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to accomplish a broad scope of jobs and tasks. According to Cascio & Aguinis (2011), F-JAS is intended to define jobs in a wide variety of tasks, but in only a few ability categories. The categories are cognitive abilities, psychomotor abilities, physical abilities, sensory/perceptual abilities, and social/interpersonal abilities. Jobs and tasks can be distinguished by the skills and abilities need to perform them, and the subject matter experts (SMEs) can use this technique …show more content…
One advantage of an employee referral is that employees referred by high-achieving employees tend to be of higher quality employees as well (Cascio & Aguinis, 2011). Current employees understand the organization’s culture, strategy, mission and values and are likely to refer individuals who are a good match. They know what is needed to be successful on the job and are good judges in determining if people in their network are compatible to the job and the organization. Another strength is that in order to protect their reputation, many current employees will only refer individuals they trust are qualified for the job. Another plus is that referral programs help organizations save costs because search firms and advertisements cost more (Kreissl, …show more content…
According to the article Predicting professional preferences for intuition-based hiring, “Our society benefits when we make full use of our technologies for making good hiring decisions and preventing unfair discrimination. Poor hiring decisions not only negatively impact organizational performance, but also employment opportunities for individuals specifically, and society more generally” (Lodato, Highhouse, & Brooks, 2011). Human interaction will occur daily on the job, and it is important to select employees with personality traits that will match with the organization’s culture, strategy and personalities of other employees.

    Don Peck, in his article "They 're Watching You at Work," claims that more sophisticated, efficient and cost-effective technologies have altered the traditional hiring process. With ample evidence provided by the "potential power" of "data-rich" people analytics, this process will be replaced by algorithmic screening programs that eliminate the human affinity to subconsciously commit subtle yet impactful biases and ultimately benefit society by sustaining the contentment of workers (Peck 9). Peck contributes to the overall conversation concerning the impact on society of big data by providing his opinion of societal ethics and morality: he makes the point that although "people analytics" is seen to dehumanize individuals into mere scores, it…

    After reading the article, “Hiring Right” by Carolyn Heinze, I realized that hiring employees is a tedious process crucial to the success of businesses today, and as most candidates and managers alike know, that in this tough economy, the hiring process does not begin with an interview and end with a job offer. Rather, it involves strategic planning and extensive consideration of the job opening and candidate profile prior to an interview. Indeed, when deciding which candidate is the best fit for a position, reviewing resumes only gives you part of the picture, and evaluating candidates for skills that cannot be ascertained from a job application can be a daunting task. However, there's no doubt that assessing candidates on intangible skills such as leadership abilities, motivation and engagement is harder than identifying employee’s physical education, training, and experience, that’s why it’s essential in today’s competitive job market to look beyond the resume to ensure that the best candidates receives the job offer.…
