The Role of Job Analysis on Employee Performance in the Perspective of Psychological Safety

Abstract

Job analysis is a systematic process to identify and describe the tasks, responsibilities, and competencies required in a job to ensure the suitability between individuals and the roles they perform. This study aims to systematically review the role of job analysis in improving employee performance through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from 10 national and international research articles published between 2020 and 2025 using the Google Scholar database with the keywords "job analysis" and "employee performance." Inclusion criteria included empirical research using correlation or regression methods and a focus on the variables of job analysis and employee performance. The results of the review show that job analysis has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, both directly and through mediating variables such as competence, motivation, and job satisfaction. Role clarity, job descriptions, and individual job fit have been shown to increase productivity, effectiveness, and work efficiency. In addition, job analysis plays a strategic role in supporting human resource management functions such as recruitment, training, and performance appraisal. Thus, job analysis is not only an administrative tool but also a psychological instrument that contributes to improving employee welfare and commitment to the organization.
