Job Analysis

This assignment will require you to consider essentially all aspects of personnel psychology.1. Create a job description (JOB: LICENSED MEDICAL ASSISTANT)

  • There are 5 parts to a job description (see slides 11 and 12 of the “Job Analysis” PowerPoint).
  • You may find O*Net useful for this part of the assignment in particular!

2. Describe the relevant criteria for the job analyzed in Step 1.

  • How will you measure performance for the job?
    • Will you use a single global criterion, a composite criterion, multiple criteria, etc.
    • If using performance ratings, describe who will be rating.
    • If using multiple or composite criteria, be sure to list all the different parts being used or factored in.
  • Are there any other criteria you might look at? (OCBs, CWBs, absenteeism, etc.)

3.What screening and selection tools will you use?

  • Think carefully here—don’t just list all the tools we went over in class!
  • Describe how each screening/selection tool is related to the job; be specific
    • For example, if you’re using a personality inventory as a selection tool, describe which traits will predict which aspects of performance (e.g., “the Agreeableness factor of personality will be related to the individual’s ability to work well with their coworkers”)
  • How will applicants be processed through the selection system?
    • Will there be multiple hurdles? If so, what tools will you use at each phase?
    • Will you combine various predictors (i.e., multiple regression), use cutoffs for each predictor (i.e., multiple cutoff), etc.

 WEEK 4 DISCUSSION

Please complete the following:

This week, we look at how a little research can go a long way toward finding the players that will help your team reach its goals. From talking to past employers to doing social media research, getting to know a candidate beyond their resume is crucial. As Coach has learned from working with hundreds of professional athletes, a player’s potential has more to do with their character than their stats.

Review the article from this week, Number of Employers Using Social Media to Screen Candidates at All-Time High, Finds Latest CareerBuilder Study. With reference to the information presented about researching candidates this week, address these questions:

This week, we look at ways to effectively recruit with key insights that’ll help you convince someone that they need to join your team! Imagine you’re preparing to recruit someone to be part of your team.

Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.  Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

Gender roles

Gender roles

1. Do you think it is important that parents discuss gender roles with their young children, or is gender a topic better left for later?
