The Role of Job Analysis in Improving Employee Performance

Abstract

Job analysis is a systematic process that identifies the duties, responsibilities, and competencies required in a particular job. This process significantly influences employee performance because it enables organizations to place the right individuals in the right positions and develop more effective human resource management systems. Based on recent literature, job analysis contributes to improving work motivation, job satisfaction, and employee performance. This study reviews various empirical and theoretical studies on the relationship between job analysis and employee performance, as well as mediating mechanisms such as motivation and role clarity. The findings indicate that an effective job analysis has a positive impact on employee performance, yet its success depends on the quality of the analysis instruments, the clarity of the results, and integration with other HR functions.
