Classic Reasons to Collect JA Data
• Identify employee specifications• Select or develop predictors that assess
important KSAs…to forecast…likely to be successful
• Develop criteria or standards of performance…to be considered successful on the job
From Gatewood, Feild, and Barrick (2008)

Real World Reasons for JA Data
• Make the attorneys go away• We’re contesting a lawsuit• We’ve signed a consent agreement
• Keep the attorneys away• We want to gain the benefits of a selection system;
incidentally want one that’s defensible
• Need to design a training course• JASR and other tabletop exercises• Arm waving exercises of the “strategy” firms

Implications
• “Observational” or “interview/focus group” approaches to job analysis are less favored
• Job analysis results are increasingly being built into “talent management” systems
• Jobs with wider discretion increasingly being rigorously analyzed
• Job analysis results must be used strategically• “Surprise, you’re now non-exempt.”

The Challenges
• Developing survey instruments that make sense when work is hard to observe, legal requirements are important, and skills are compensatory• Detailing differences among jobs that differ little and
“experts” find hard to describe.• Relative importance ratings• Addressing issues of scope, scale, and talent fungibility

The Challenges
• Dealing with client competency models* that have already gotten traction• “Use understanding of…industry and major
competitors to set goals and action plans.”• “Plan with sufficient flexibility to meet the challenges of
rapid global growth”
• *I’ve yet to work with a client that had just one

The Challenges
• On demand job analysis
• Card sorting approaches are deceptively easy and have led to the belief job analysis should be similarly easy.
• Assessing Minimum Qualifications• OFCCP• Buster approach
• Talent Mobility
• When “expertise” is more important than “importance”

Unresolved Issues
• Multitasking
• Central to wage-hour cases
• Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (Might be the “full employment for I/O psychologists, Part II” Act)
• More scrutiny of MQ’s and job titles
• What is the real difference between Manager I, Manager II, Manager III and Senior Manager I jobs?

Tried and True Approaches
• Lots of pre-survey work• Understand the context • Interviews and focus groups
• Communicate endlessly• Survey managers and incumbents
• Others if appropriate (e.g., Regional Trainers)
• Overlap analyses
