Abstract


Along with the creation of human resource management there is a spike in interest to modernize job design approaches. The formula for success lies in the balance between jobs and assignments for the firm. The significance of adequately designed jobs is varied, as it benefits performance, employee satisfaction and their psycho-physical state. On the other hand, all of that implies profit for the firm. In this paper we are concerned with defining a job, and the nature of its design. Next, we analyse job processes, a complex, multi-stage analysis. Last, but not least important, are job description and specification, which are shown. The aim of the paper is to show how important it is to understand and adequately value job design, so it can be successfully implemented.
