Analyzing Appropriate Job Analysis Tools [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLO: 2]
Morgeson et al. (2020) defined several tools and techniques for gathering data related to a job. Those different tools are (a) self-reports, (b) direct observations, (c) interviews, (d) document review, and (e) questionnaires and surveys. In Week 1, you completed a position questionnaire for a potential job analysis.
In addition to a position questionnaire, there are other tools available to gather data and information to support the analysis. In this discussion forum, you will further explore several of the tools defined by Morgeson et al. (2020) for data and information collection and determine and defend the most appropriate tool(s) for a particular scenario.
