The Health Services Mobility Study Method of Task Analysis and Curriculum Design. Research Report No. 11. Volume 3: Using the Computer to Develop Job Ladders.
Gilpatrick, Eleanor
This document is volume 3 of a four-volume report which describes the components of the Health Services Mobility Study (HSMS) method of task analysis, job ladder design, and curriculum development. Divided into four chapters, volume 3 is a manual for using HSMS computer based statistical procedures to design job structures and job ladders. Chapter 1 is a manual for coding and preparing the HSMS task data for computer-based analysis. Chapter 2 describes how to use HSMS task data and computer programs to group tasks into interrelated families and hierarchies of tasks. Chapter 3 describes how to assign tasks to job levels, job structures, and job ladders. Finally, chapter 4 indicates how the analytic results can be used by an individual institution or department to make rational use of manpower, restructure jobs, assign tasks to jobs and titles at various levels, provide upward mobility, and/or evaluate task performance. The appendixes contain the five HSMS computer programs, instructions for their use, and various related materials. (The other three volumes of the HSMS study include the following information: the HSMS skill and knowledge scales and knowledge classification system [volume 1]; a companion document which describes the work carried out by the director of a task analysis project and its job analysts [volume 2]; and the HSMS curriculum design method [volume 4].)
