Title:: V. Analysis of the worker

Collection:: Economics Books

ANALYSIS OF THE WORKER The broad topic of man analysis has been treated apart from the chapter on job analysis, but this has been done for convenience of exposition only. The job apart from the worker who does it is an abstraction, and so, too, is the worker apart from the job. The actual unit is the worker- in-his-work. This is most obvious when our attention is focused on high managerial positions. An executive post, no matter how minutely the duties are specified, varies with the man who fills it. The executive, also, who has been, let us say, a superintendent, is a somewhat different person when promoted to the general managership. The investi- gator should never forget to think of the job in terms of the workers who perform it, and of the workers as related to their own specific occupations. The investigator is now faced with the task of choosing or constructing examinations for the experimental measure- ment of the workers he has decided to study. In the selec- tion or construction of these examinations he will be guided by the estimated importance of the abilities and character- istics he has listed. The general principles governing the selection of examinations will be considered in the next chapter. 78
