Which one of the following is related to 'Standard of Personnel'?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 2 Management Question Paper (22-Jan-2017)
The correct answer is

Job Specification

The phrase 'standard of personnel' means the yardstick that describes the kind of person a job needs, so the answer must be the document that states human requirements rather than job duties.

A job specification is exactly that: it states the minimum human qualifications - education, skills, experience, and personal attributes such as aptitude and physical demands - that a person must possess to perform the job successfully. Because it sets out the standard the personnel must meet, it is the 'standard of personnel'.

Job description, by contrast, describes the job itself - its title, duties, responsibilities and working conditions - not the person. Job design decides how tasks are grouped and structured into a job, and job evaluation ranks jobs against one another to fix their relative worth and pay.

Hence the standard of personnel is related to job specification.
