What experience do you have (or have heard about) where poor job analysis impacted employees?

Answer 1

i guess it would mainly be situations where something "took off" and the person in the job handling it is very overworked and the entity doesn't realize they need to hire help in that area. For example if the number of students goes from 10 to 1000 the person who is handling student services is going to be overworked if management doesn't figure out this impact. It also happens the other way - things have less to do (for example if military training in a certain area goes way down because they are phasing out that system) then sometimes a person is left handling it and essentially has nothing to do. This is more of an impact on the organization because the person cannot contribute.

Answer 2

if you speak of getting an analysis every so often as to the quality of your work, then consistent poor marks, just like report cards, are going to negatively impact promotions, pay raises (usually more than just cost-of-living increases), and even that you are "allowed" to continue working within the company. i.e., if you received all failing grades, i will bet that you could not pass to the next year and have to retake all your "f" or "d" classes, correct?

the experience that i have had with job analyses is giving them to my employees and/or independent contractors. i have a reputation to keep. my reputation as an entity, actually by irs rules as a "person," a corporation, is like solid gold. if i lose my corporate reputation due to ineptitude of employees/independent contractors, or lack of care given to my customers and clients, i am not going to get the work that i have to get in order to pay my bills and stay alive.

you really should research what a company must do in order to make and market whatever it does market in order to make a profit. and you can look at accounting books, too. salary and benefits take up a very large portion of the net income of a company. when you slack off on your responsibilities, others have to pick up your slack, while attending to their own jobs, which is too much to expect of them.

personally, when an employee/independent contractor does anything to tarnish the reputation that my corporation carries, i am going to tell such employee/contractor to hand in their keys and get out of my office immediately.

generally, most companies will give you analyses of your performance quarterly. if you do not improve your poor grades over a year, you might be fired.
