Literature Review: Ethics, Bias, Accountability in Job Analysis

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the concepts of ethics, bias, and accountability in job analysis and their implications for human resource management practices. Job analysis is understood as an important basis for workforce planning, recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, and wage determination, so that errors or biases in the job analysis process can lead to unfair HR decisions and potential legal violations. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive analytical approach to relevant articles and teaching materials. The results of the study show that job analysis that is not based on ethics and accountability tends to give rise to various biases, especially discrimination that is not related to job requirements. Bias can be reduced through the development of objective and competency-based job analysis, the use of structured and documented procedures, the involvement of multiple parties, and the strengthening of codes of ethics.
