System and method for analyzing work requirements and linking human resource products to jobs
First Claim
1. For use with a computer, a job analysis system, comprising:
- a master job analysis database containing work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions and associated work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimension job analysis survey portions, said master job analysis database employing fuzzy logic to determine a placement of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions within at least one hierarchal structure;
a products database containing human resource products; and
a knowledge management module, associated with said master job analysis database, including;
a survey assembly program that allows a user to select at least one of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions and creates a job analysis survey from at least one of said associated work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimension job analysis survey portions, anda survey analysis program that allows said user to identify key worker-oriented dimensions and links said key worker-oriented dimensions to said human resource products in said product database.

Abstract
For use with a computer, a job analysis system and a method of operating a computer to allow it to perform job analysis. In one embodiment, the job analysis system includes: (1) a master job analysis database containing work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions and work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimension job analysis survey portions associated therewith, (2) a products database containing human resource products and (3) a knowledge management module, associated with the master job analysis database. The knowledge management module includes: (3a) a survey assembly program that allows a user to select ones of the work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions from the master job analysis database and creates a job analysis survey from the associated ones of the job analysis survey portions and (3b) a survey analysis program that allows the user to identify key worker-oriented dimensions and links the key worker-oriented dimensions to the human resource products in the product database.

19. For use with a computer, a job analysis system, comprising:
-
a master job analysis database containing work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions and associated work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimension job analysis survey portions, said master job analysis database employing fuzzy logic to determine a placement of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions within at least one hierarchal structure; a products database containing human resource products; a knowledge management module, associated with said master job analysis database, including; a survey assembly program that allows a user to select at least one of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions and creates a preliminary job analysis survey from at least one of said associated work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimension job analysis survey portions, notifies subject matter experts of an existence of said preliminary job analysis survey, allows said subject matter expert to rate a relevance of said at least one of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions selected, analyzes responses to said preliminary job analysis survey to determine said relevance of said at least one of said work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions selected, and produces a final job analysis survey from said preliminary job analysis survey based on said relevance, and a survey analysis program that allows said user to identify key worker-oriented dimensions and links said key worker-oriented dimensions to said human resource products in said products database, said survey analysis program being capable of adding new work-oriented, worker-oriented and work context dimensions to said master job analysis database; and a network interface, associated with said knowledge management module, that allows said user to communicate with said knowledge management module via a computer network coupled to said computer. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
