Person-job Fit or Person-organization Fit Person-job fit - The traditional approach to recruitment and selection is based on the view that organizations should specify the requirements of the job as closely as possible and then look for individuals whose personal attributes fit those requirements.
Job Analysis Job analysis involves examining a job systematically and in detail. There is no single way of doing this. Some methods include: Direct observation may be helpful if you are analyzing repetitive manual jobs, for example. Discussion with the current job holder and supervisor or line manager is also a useful source of information. Another method of job analysis is to use the checklist approach, ticking off the various aspects of the job as you consider them.
Motivation Person-organization fit - This approach stresses that people's behavior and performance are strongly influenced by the environment in which they find themselves. So being successful in a job in one organization does not necessarily imply success in a similar job in another.
Organizational Analysis The broader organizational requirements can be as important as the specific ones for the job itself. The organization needs creativity, flexibility, the ability to work in a small team, and so on, from the job holder. In line with the person-organization fit described earlier, it is important to think beyond the technical aspects of the job to the cultural aspects of the organization.
Person-Organization fit Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) is a concept that goes back many years, and is generally defined as compatibility between employees and their organizations.
Job Description From your analysis of the job you can write a job description which will state what the job holder is responsible for and what they are required to do. There is no one right way of setting out job descriptions. An accurate job description has various uses outside the recruitment process.
