Work Analysis Matrix

 Work Analysis Matrix (10 points)

 Create a matrix with these approaches to work analysis listed along the vertical axis (left side). Along the horizontal axis (top) list the goals you might want to achieve through using work analysis. Make a matrix, much like a spreadsheet (the rubrics listed below are in a matrix format), where you compare the effectiveness of the different formal approaches to work analysis (left side) to the goals you listed (top) in the cell where they merge. The comparison in the corresponding cell can be text explaining the relationship or it can be a simple ranking (numerical, alphabetical, or word based) that you explain under the matrix.

Formal work analysis approaches:

Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ)

Management position description questionnaire (MPDQ)

Competency modeling

O*Net

Critical Incident Technique

Job compatibility questionnaire (JCQ)

Job Diagnostic Survey

Multi-method Job Design Questionnaire

Question 6

 

If you are assigned a supervisory role at work, how can you motivate employees to become excited about assuming additional responsibilities?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Question 7

 

As a supervisor, how should you handle two employees whose friendship has turned negative and is creating a problem for work productivity?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

APPROACH

GOALS

EFFECTIVENESS

Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ)

· Job Design

· Job selection and evaluation

· Training needs

Consistent reliability and validity although having a high reading level and requires abstract judgment.

Management position description questionnaire (MPDQ)

Competency modeling

· KSAOs

· SMEs

Issues with defining what is meant by the word “competence”. Provides mixed results when more o few competencies are included.

O*Net

· Work values/needs

· KSAOs

· Experience levels Required

· Work context

Offers universal accessibility through a single online site, however not useful for the job analyst unless he/she is surveying a wide range of jobs in a particular occupation.
