Case Study
1.What should be the format and final form of the store manager's job description?
In my opinion, there is no format or final form of the job description. But the store manager’s job description should include the job identification, job summary, responsibilities and duties, authority of incumbent, the standards of performance, working conditions and Job specifications. I recommend that Jennifer include standards of of performance section in job description. In this, the standards that the employee expected to be achieved under each job description’s main duties and responsibilities, is listed. It will also address the problem of employees such as not understanding the company policies, procedures, and expectations. In addition I recommend that Jennifer should take a competency-based approach instead. This competency based approach describes the job in terms of the measurable, observable, behavioral competencies that an employee who perform the job must have. The competency analysis is more worker focused. This is due to it focuses more on ‘how’ the worker meets the job’s objective or actually accomplishes the work.
