question

 What are the advantages and disadvantages of using multiple methods for job analysis? Why? 

Student response

 Job Analysis is the systematic study of jobs to identify the observable work activities, tasks, and responsibilities associated with a particular job or group of jobs. It is a systematic method of gathering information. It reports the job as it exists at the time of analysis, not as it was in the past nor as it exist in another organization.

Advantage: It provides all-round data on a particular job because it ensures consistency in the work evaluation process, it also guarantees the process’s material validity and it provides information on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of validity. It is not possible to define such job characteristics in a quantitative way, so qualitative approaches are useful in this case.

Disadvantage: One of the main drawbacks of using multiple job analysis methods for a particular job is the increased coast associated with it. Sometimes, using multiple methods can lead to costs beyond budget. It is also very time consuming because job analysis is to be conducted using multiple techniques. Having multiple job analysis can also lead to conflicting information about a particular job.
Job Analysis provides the objective criteria needed for executives to make informed decisions regarding staffing, selection, performance, succession planning and compensation. This allows companies to not only create better selection systems, but also create effective training development programs, compensation and talent management systems.

Will you lower your financial expectations?

Assignment: Are You in Alignment?

 

 

In this lesson, we discussed the importance of aligning your career and financial goals. Now that you have identified your desired job titles and financial goals 3 months, 18 months, and 5 years from now and you have compared your desired salary to the average salary for these titles, you can figure out whether your financial and career goals are a “match.”

 

Begin by writing a paragraph on each of your three goals. Give details of each goal including (1) Why you have decided to set this goal, (2) How you plan to accomplish it, and (3) How you will know that you have accomplished this goal, (4) the date upon which this goal will be complete, and (5) the weekly or monthly steps you will take toward the goal. Each of your paragraphs should be 5 – 7 sentences in length.

 

Next, write a brief reflection (8 – 10 sentences) on whether your career goals are in alignment with your financial goals. Be honest with yourself! If there is a big difference between your financial goal and the average salary for your job title, then your goals are NOT in alignment.

 

If they are in alignment, then great! Tell us what your plan is for continuing to work toward those career goals you have set.

 

If they are not in alignment, then tell us how you plan to adjust:

 

Will you lower your financial expectations? If so, then explain why it’s worth it to you. (For example, you could write, “I love animals so much that I am willing to adjust to a lower salary if it means I can be a veterinary technician.”)

Will you adjust your career goals? If so, how? (For example, you could write, “I will research other jobs that involve animals, but have a higher salary than a veterinary technician.”)

Reflect on the current roles of advanced practice nurses in healthcare as the care providers at the front line of disease management and health promotion in primary care and many other specialty settings. What do you think are some effective tactics for APN strategic positioning regarding pay equality? Should APNs position themselves as lower-cost providers who provide better care or push for comparable worth, same service and same pay?

Below is an article that provides great practical information that highlights how provider productivity is calculated in the clinical setting, which is important to know as future nurse practitioners.

How does identifying the expected outcomes for both children and adults involved in a mentoring project increase the chance that the outcomes will be met?

November 1, 2019 1 Comment Uncategorized

A critical part of the mentoring process is creating a visible action plan that captures a group’s theory of change. After reading the chapter, focus on the section titled Make Your Project Visible and use Table 8.3 (do not confuse this with Figure 8.3); reflect on how to put a mentoring plan into action. In one-page minimum, address the following questions:

• How might making a mentoring project’s available resources (e.g., the assets that include time, money, partners, research, and available mentoring expertise) visible allow for thoughtful review by a planning team before, during, and after the project?
• How would identifying a mentoring project’s activities and processes (e.g., observing documenting, reflecting, analysis, application, feedback, goal-setting, and modeling) allow for adjustment before, during, and after a project?
• How does identifying the expected outcomes for both children and adults involved in a mentoring project increase the chance that the outcomes will be met?
• As you reflect on this course, identify and briefly discuss a theme/idea that resonates with you as a leader who is invested in supporting the learning and development of the adults and children involved in early childhood education.
