While job analysis will not disappear, the procedures used are likely to evolve and change to meet the new needs of organizations. The increasing popularity of competency modeling (instead of task- focused job analysis) is one example of how job analysis is evolving. Part of the appeal of competency modeling seems to be that is more useful for identifying the core competencies and behaviors that are similar across all jobs in a department, business unit, or organization. When these are included in employees’ job descriptions, competency modeling serves as a tool for defining and communicating a consistent corporate culture.
