Job Analysis and Design: The Frequency and Importance of Key Activities of Participants in Higher Education Processes

In the domain of organizational design, an important issue regarding human resource management is job design as a process of systematically organizing work into tasks. Job analysis itself should primarily focus on the procedure for determining the tasks and responsibilities that comprise particular jobs as well as the required human attributes. There are numerous methods used to examine the levels of functioning of organizational units, workplaces and employees. They include the processes functions method and the well-known functional job analysis, which uses scales to represent the tasks performed by employees during job execution that involve things, data, people, etc. by means of measuring the percentage of time spent. Based on these methods, we designed a questionnaire specifically intended for a sample of undergraduate students. Taking into consideration the students’ everyday obligations concerning their courses, relevant activities performed by students were selected, from the perspective of students as representatives of knowledge workers. Using the set of defined activities, we assessed the activities’ presence and intensity of their influence on study success. The obtained results have relevance with respect to detected habits, perceptions and attitudes of respondents concerning their student activities. Therefore, this paper also provides some useful insights regarding the job design for students of informatics.
