Matching HR Concepts: List I & List II

This question requires matching terms from List I (Job specifications, Job description, Job analysis) with their correct definitions in List II.

Understanding the Terms

  • a. Job specifications: Refers to the required qualifications, skills, and attributes a person must possess to perform a job.
  • b. Job description: Details the duties, responsibilities, tasks, and working conditions associated with a specific job.
  • c. Job analysis: The systematic process of gathering and examining information about a job's duties, responsibilities, skills, and work environment.

Matching Process

Let's match the items based on their definitions:

  • Job specifications (a) is defined as 'A list of human requirements' (ii). This is because specifications focus on the ideal candidate's qualifications.
  • Job description (b) is defined as 'A list of job’s duties, responsibilities, reporting relationships, working conditions and supervisory responsibilities' (iii). This accurately describes the content of a job description.
  • Job analysis (c) is defined as 'The procedure for determining the duties and skill requirements of a job and the kind of person who should be hired for it' (i). This describes the overall process of studying a job.

Correct Code

Based on the matching:

  • a matches with ii
  • b matches with iii
  • c matches with i

The correct code is therefore a-ii, b-iii, c-i.
