Abstract

 

Job analysis contains reports that detail the system, environmental conditions and performance of each job for obtaining higher efficiency. In order to do job analysis properly, information regarding the job have to be evaluated accurately and realistically. The originating point of the current research is based on this requirement. Related researches have mainly focused on either traditional or strategic approaches. Current study, however, has blended these two approaches together with systems approach in order to model a job analysis system and develop related documents. The developed job analysis form has been used to collect data from fifty civil engineers. Collected data has been statistically analyzed in order to be used for job analysis of civil engineers.
