Job Analysis at the Speed of Reality

Rating:
Summary: Great resource for those new to job analysis!
Review: Easy read and well organized material. The facilitator's guide is useful. I especially liked the evaluation of other job analysis methods. The evaluation list the pros and cons of methods such as DACUM. This helped me cut and paste techniques from several methods which made more sense for my situation.

Summary: The JASR Process
Review: I found Darin Hartley's book, "Job Analysis at the Speed of Reality", to be an excellent book. The JASR process is easy to follow and perhaps more importantly, it does not require a great deal of time. I also believe that "Job Analysis at the Speed of Reality" also provides an excellent blueprint for mapping exemplary employee's characteristics and behaviors. These are obviously crutial to an organization's success and the JASR method facilitates the gathering of this information.

Overall this is an excellent read and reference book.

Review: This book boils down the complex steps of job analysis into simple, easy to find subroutines that allows you to get started immediately.

Mr. Hartley describes all the known alternatives to conducting job analysis processes, then explains how his JASR (pronounced jazz-er) method incorporates them handily into his simplied model. He details each step in his JASR model, giving you plenty of tips to complete each successfully. His years of experience show, and he shares it with the reader generously. Plenty of well done graphics re-enforce the key concepts.

At the end of the book is a thorough "job aid" which again explains the key concepts of each step, and how you can get started implementing it immediately. He also includes a nice section on how to facilitate a JASR section that is applicable to any group meeting. Mr. Hartley says his process can be done in 2-3 hours in one meeting -- and after reading his book, I believe it.

A good addition to anyone involved in developing competency models for performance improvement projects. Dr. Jim Moshinskie, professor of performance improvement, Baylor University, Waco, Texas 254-710-4097
