Designing a job is a challenging task for HR in an organization, HR
act as a middle man in this scenario, understanding the organizations need and
expectation on a job role should be reflected from the recruitment, further the
applicant should be agree for the organizations expectation towards his/hers
perks and benefits he/she supports to get from the organization. Job design can
be defined as “the specification of the contents, methods, and relationships of
jobs in order to satisfy technological and organizational requirements as well
as the social and personal requirements of the job holder” (Armstrong, 2003).
According to another definition, job
design “is the functions of arranging task, duties and responsibilities in to
an organizational unit of work” (Ali and Aroosiya, 2012).
Job design should start with an analysis
of task requirements, namely what should be done, and then it should take into
account the following motivating characteristics: autonomy, responsibility, discretion,
and finally self-control (Armstrong, 2003).
Chaneta (2011) states the criteria that
should be taken under consideration for job design, which are the
following - maximise the degree of
specializing, minimise the time required
to do the job, minimise the level of
skill required , minimise learning time/ training time, maximise the use of the machines and
minimise the degree of flexibility in the performance of the job.
A broad definition of Job design would
encompass disclosure by scholars have customarily describes jobs as set of
tasks which is deliberated plan to be accomplish by one employee and tasks in
simple words is the allocation of small patches of work to an employees who
have been accomplish it within the given time period (Griffin, 1987).

This job has an important job description that will help the candidate decide if the job is what they are looking for and if the organization is a suitable fit for their skills. A job description is an important part of the job application process because that should help candidates identify whether the role is a good match for their skill set and whether it is a job they want to do. The job description is important from the organization's position in verifying that the applications received for the position closely match the needs of the role itself .Thanks to Share
