  • Job Analysis Reflection

    Job Analysis Reflection

    This assignment helps you meet CO 1-4 and MO 1 and 2. The first assignment for this course is a reflection on a Job Analysis. You will perform some Job Analysis steps and reflect on lessons learned to demonstrate the importance of conducting a thorough job analysis to accurately describe the most important criteria to be used when making employment decisions. Be sure to address the following module objectives in your discussion:

    • Differentiate knowledge, skills, tasks, and outcomes, as critical elements of a valid job analysis.
    • Analyze the value of job analyses to improve organizational hiring and performance assessment effectiveness and legal defensibility.

    Instructions

    To begin your assignment, select a specific job (not just an O*Net “type” of job) for your job analysis. I recommend selecting a job with which you are familiar, such as your own current or past job. You may also select a job of someone you know and interview that person about their job. The important thing is that you must analyze a specific job, not just a general job category. You will compare that specific job to a similar job and will reflect on similarities and differences.

    Once you have selected your job, access . In the top right corner, type in the name of the job you have selected to analyze. O*NET refers to jobs as occupations.

    Your search will produce a list of occupations. You may find that the occupation you searched for has a name other than the exact term for which you searched, but you should easily be able to figure out the occupation that matches your search term.

    Your specific job might not exactly match any O*NET occupation, and that’s okay.

    After youve located the occupation, complete and submit the Job Analysis Reflection following these guidelines:

    • Create a cover page for your assignment with your name, the assignment name, and your specific job title.
    • Include correct section headings for all three sections.
    • Use the following outline to guide your analysis and replace the questions in each section with your answers to complete these Job Analysis elements. Be sure to write in complete sentences except where indicated.

    1. Organization, Location, Occupational Code, and Job Title

    Questions

    • What is your specific Job title, organization, and location?
    • What is a similar job on O*Net?
    • What O*NET SOC (Occupational Code) and title best matches the specific job you are analyzing?
    • How is your job different from the general job description provided in the O*NET Occupation Overview?

    2. Job Overview

    Questions

    • Are the most important tasks and task activities for your specific job included in the O*Net list for a comparable job? If not, which ones are missing? Why might that be?
    • Are there tasks and activities on the O*Net list that are NOT typically used in your selected job? You may just list them for this answer.
    • Are the most important KSAs for your specific job included in the O*Net list for a comparable job? If not, which ones are missing? Why might that be?
    • Are there KSAs on the O*Net list that are NOT typically used in your selected job? You may just list them for this answer.

    3. Reflection and Analysis

    Answer each of these questions in your own words. No quotes or paraphrases can be used but be sure to cite our text or other sources of information for example, about the importance of criteria and effective job analyses.

    Questions

    • What are criteria relevance, contamination, and deficiency, and why is each one important to consider when making employment hiring, selection, training, and performance appraisal decisions?
    • How did your job analysis help you identify the most relevant for your selected job?
    • Why would relying only on O*Net information to determine the most important knowledge, skills, abilities, and tasks and activities of the specific job you selected for this assignment result in criteria contamination and deficiency? In other words, what important elements of your selected job were missing from the O*Net information? What things were listed in O*Net information that are NOT important for your specific job?
    • Describe two specific examples of employment decision errors (related to hiring, selection, training, or performance appraisal) that might be made if leaders in your specific job’s organization relied only on O*Net to determine what was most important.

    In your submission, use at least 2 specific references to incorporate the assigned learning materials.

    Submission and Grading Guidelines

    • Include correct headings for all three numbered sections.

  • Nursing

    Rick is a 72-year-old man previously diagnosed with depressive disorder. He was brought to the emergency room by his wife after he cut his hands with a hacksaw, sustaining damage to various structures and needing surgical intervention. His wife describes that she was going back to work after an extended leave to care for her husband after a recent hospital admission and that this was his first day home by himself. Her son came to check on Mr. Rick and found him on the floor bleeding profusely and called the ambulance.

    Mr. Rick retired as an electrician about 8 years ago. Over the past 5 years, his wife describes an increasing indifference to events. For example, when their basement was flooded due to a water leak, Mr. Rick opened the door to the basement, saw the water, and closed the door, saying nothing. This was uncharacteristic of him in the context of his job and training. His wife tells you that the first symptom noted was not caring about things, which could be interpreted as apathy. She notes that the reason he retired early was that he could not keep up with the requirements of his job.

    There has been an apparent functional decline. While he is independent in all his activities of daily living, other than cooking, he is dependent on most instrumental activities of daily living. His most recent MoCA score was 16 out of 30. Several comorbid medical conditions are of concern, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea.

    He was assessed for depressed mood by a psychiatrist and started on escitalopram 10 mg daily 1 year ago. There was a mild improvement, but after a few months, he attempted suicide through an overdose. He was admitted to the inpatient psychiatric ward. During that admission, he used shoelaces to tie a ligature around his neck and to the bedroom furniture in an attempt to end his life.

    His mood improved over the following few weeks, and he was discharged home with support, including a mental health nurse visiting once a week. His wife had stayed with him at home during the past month, and he was distressed when she left him, even for short periods. He was often tearful even when she was home, and he felt things would never get better. The current episode of self-harm happened on the day she returned to work.

    Assignment Detail:Use the SOAP note template to complete the documentation with the information provided.
