Flexibility. Today’s environment requires adaptable organizations and flexible individuals. Organizations focus on how they can get flexibility without worker resistance, while satisfying workers’ needs for comfort. Many Japanese firms such as Nissan and Honda hire applicants to work for the company rather than to do a specific job. Many companies agree that it is better to focus the employee’s attention on doing whatever is necessary to accomplish the organization’s work. Corresponding to this, some HR professionals have argued that the term role analysis should be used in place of the term job analysis. Focusing on roles is consistent with the philosophy of emphasizing results over procedures, and it works well in organizations that allow employees to use flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting and flextime, to adapt work requirements to their personal needs.
