JOB ANALYSIS AND PEOPLE RESOURCING OF GOVERNMENT-OWNED COMPANIES IN RIVERS STATE.

Abstract

Arising  from  perceived  knowledge gap  in  organizations  pertaining to  Job  analysis  and  People  resourcing  activities, this work  examined  the  relationship  between  Job Analysis and People Resourcing in Government - owned Companies  in  Rivers State. The aim  of  this  study  was  to   examine  the  extent  to which  the dimensions  of  job  analysis such  as  job  description  and  job  specification influence  people  resourcing activities   considering  measures  such  as  recruitment, selection  and  talent development.  This  study also  sought  to  examine  how organizational  culture ( with indices  such  as organizational  values, norms and  attitudes) moderate  the   relationship  between  job  analysis  and  people resourcing activities.  The  study  concluded  that  detailed and professional  job  analysis application will   enhance people  resourcing  activities  in  the  Government-  owned  Companies in Rivers State.  The  study  recommended  amongst  other  things  that  the  Government – owned companies  should  invest  in  the  use  of   job  analysis  professionals and  ensure  that  proper  job  analysis  are  timely  done,  before  the  people resourcing  activities of  recruitment,  selection,  and  talent  management  are  carried  out.
