Job Analysis Research
In conducting a job analysis, there are two areas: (1) job-based and (2) person-based structure. For this assignment, identify the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs); the tasks, duties, and responsibilities (TDRs); and any other specifics for a registered nurse’s position.
We will be using research efforts to complete the assignment. Refer to the BLS website to identify and collect needed data/basic information about a registered nurse’s position. Utilize to the A-Z Index to access information on registered nurses.
Then, use the following website to create your own structure-based analysis: www.onetonline.org. Follow the steps listed below for the www.onetonline.org website to access the needed information.
- Search www.onetonline.org.
- Go to the Occupation Search section.
- Enter the keyword (registered nurse) or the O*NET-SOC code.
- Click the arrow.
- Identify/record code for registered nurses.
- Click Registered Nurses.
- View the report.
- Click the Custom tab in the middle of the page. (Note: You will customize/select your own job analysis specifics based on the job and person-based specifics.) The following information should be identified in the PowerPoint presentation:
- credentials,
- KSAs,
- tasks,
- work activities and detailed work activities,
- technology skills,
- tools used,
- wages, and
- Check the appropriate boxes (see below for required information).
- Click GO.
Also, include slides on the following:
- Explain why a job analysis is conducted.
- Describe the steps to develop a total compensation strategy.
Once the data is collected, complete an eight- to ten-slide (not including Title Slide and Reference Slide) PowerPoint presentation about the job-based and person-based structure needed for the registered nurse’s position. A minimum of one graphic related to the content being discussed is required. Be creative!
The speaker notes should be developed to completely explain each bullet point on your slide. Be sure to include clear and specific speaker notes for each slide. If you chose to use audio speaker notes, include a copy of the script you are using in the speaker notes section under the slide. Use paragraphing in the speaker notes; do not lump the information for each bullet point together. As a general rule, each speaker note should include 5-10 sentences.
Note: Keep the 6-by-6 PowerPoint rule in mind (i.e., slides should only include six to seven lines of content with no more than six to seven words per line).
Include a title slide and a references slide in your presentation; however, please keep in mind that these do not count toward meeting the minimum slide requirement.
When you submit your PowerPoint, don’t worry if you can’t see your speaker notes in BlackBoard. When I download the assignment to grade, I should be able to see the speaker notes — if by some chance I can’t, I’ll let you know and give you an opportunity to resubmit.
