Question

What is the primary goal of job analysis?

- (i) To determine job roles and responsibilities
- (ii) To determine job roles and responsibilities
- (iii) To improve company branding
- (iv) To identify market trends

Accepted Answer

**Correct Answer: (i) [and (ii) duplicate] To determine job roles and responsibilities**

**Explanation (2 Marks):**

*   **Job Analysis** = systematic study to collect information about job content - what job holder does, how, why, skills/qualifications needed.
*   **Primary goal:** To **determine duties, roles, responsibilities, reporting relations, working conditions** and **specifications** (KSAs) required. Outputs → Job Description & Job Specification.
*   Serves basis for recruitment, selection, training, performance appraisal, job evaluation, HR planning.

**Why others wrong:**
*   (iii) Improving company branding → Marketing/ Employer Branding, not job analysis
*   (iv) Identify market trends → Strategic/Marketing research

> Note: Options (i) & (ii) are duplicate - both correct. Choose (i).

**In exam:** Write (i) To determine job roles and responsibilities.
