The emphasis of this method of job analysis is on the attributes, abilities and knowledge and individuals’ characteristics that are required by the employee to perform the desired duties. According to McCormick et al. (1967) the worker oriented method is more comprehensive of work-related areas as compared to the work oriented methodologies. The worker-oriented approaches are frequently involved in selection purposes, in finding out explicit KSA’s required for the task (Brannick et al., 2007). The requirements of an individual to comprehend the responsibilities and duties of the job are defined by the Worker-oriented analyses describe (Dierdorff and Wilson,
A strong work ethic was required. “If a fellow won’t work, he has no right to anything.” However when a worker that
In future years the work we know and do will be changed. With current emerging technologies, such as the 3D printer, Wi-Fi, or mobile devices, jobs have already been impacted from what was done in the ‘olden days’ or before the introduction of these advancements. Three careers have been chosen to display how this information technology (IT) impacts on work, these careers being medicine, education, and journalism. They have been chosen based on how their careers have largely been positively impacted and changed because of these advancements. The examples below will demonstrate how IT has shown to be an overall positive addition to the work industry.
He explains how he observed different types of blue-collar and service workers in action, and came to the conclusion that each of these tasks have a skill that takes a lot of mind power to master. Their work is educational at every degree. Blue-collar workers develop intelligence and skills in a workplace through proper planning, problem solving, social interactions and multitasking. Most blue collar jobs are constantly faced with new problems every day, in the midst of busy schedules, that demand instant solution. Blue Collar jobs require just as much intelligence as jobs that require formal academic credentials.
The life of a 19th-century industrial worker was far from easy. Even in good times wages were low, hours long, and working conditions hazardous. Trying to fix the issue, many Europeans suggested much needed solutions to this problem. Over the course of the 19th century Europeans suggested that there should be equality between men women and social classes, that there should be a peaceful reorganization of social classes, and a revolution or a change in government. During the Industrial Revolution, as more factories were being built, more people were willing to do work as long as they got paid.

Rose supports his views by saying, “To gain a sense of how knowledge and skill develop, I observed experts as well as novices. From the details of this close examination I tied to fashion what I called, ‘cognitive biographies’ of blue-collar workers,”(250). Rose effectively compares the various levels of labor as a part of his study to generate a better understanding of the complexity of blue-collar jobs. As a part of the comprehensive argument, Rose’s research reinforces his ability to delve deeper into the topic, and make connections between his experience and the educated conclusion that was derived from his study. Rose’s thesis, which revolves around the argument that blue-collar workers need to possess more abilities that go beyond the physical ability gains a greater credibility because it encompassed diverse stages of labor and related it to his personal experience.
He is a professor who specialized in literacy and learning. He also did a “study of the thought processes involved in work like that of his mother and uncle. I cataloged the cognitive demands of a range of blue-collar and service jobs, from waitressing and hair styling to plumbing and welding. To gain a sense of how knowledge and skill develop, I observed experts as well as novices. From the details of this close examination, I tried to fashion what I called “cognitive Biographies” of blue-collar workers.
The three descriptive research methods that I will discuss are Naturalistic Observation, Survey, and Case Study. Naturalistic Observation is a research method in which people or animals are observed in their natural habitat without any controls or variables. This type of research method may be conducted if you want to see how people truly act without being watched. For example, this research method may be used to determine who are healthier shoppers, men or women? The researcher would go to a food store and take count throughout the day of how many men and women he finds in the fruit and vegetable isles, and how many he find in the snack isles.
Throughout my report I will seek to investigate the pros and cons of operating a contingent workforce. I will look at how it affects the landscape of an organisation and the impacts it has on retaining a competitive advantage. I will also look at whether it is best practice from a Human Resource (HR) point of view and how HR can best manage to retain the knowledge these individuals have and are given while working with an organisation. A contingent workforce can be defined as ‘Is a provisional group of workers who work for an organization on a non-permanent basis, also known as freelancers, independent professionals, temporary contract workers, independent contractors or consultants.’
Employees will seek out answers about their current skills, skills required for the job, and the gap between employee’s current skills and job required
INTRODUCTION Adapted from the course module notes, there are two categories of theories and techniques in job design to motivate employees: 1. Content theories by Maslow, McClelland, Herzberg and Alderfer. 2. Process theories such as Job Rotation, Job Enlargement and Enrichment; Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, The Hackman and Oldham Model and Empowerment.

The results of the PAQ allows one to view specific details about the job, as well as the ability to compare jobs or positions in different businesses. Additional details regarding the elements and six main categories, along with the use of the PAQ in a research study, will be further discussed.

The categories include the following: information input, mental processes, work output, relationships with other persons, job context, and other job characteristics.
