Lesson 4 Group Discussion: Hiring a Social Media Director
Due dates: Wednesday, September 21for the post and Friday, September 23 for the responses.
This week we start exploring one of the technical sides of HR management: job analysis. Pynes (2013) chapter 5 will discuss the importance of job analysis and the requirements for a successful one. Sanchez and Levine (2009) they compare Traditional Job Analysis with Competency Modeling. Reitner-Palmon et al. (2006) describe a web-based job analysis process and its applications in the US Navy. Singh (2008) emphasizes the importance of having a strategic approach to job analysis.
By the end of this week you have to complete the following assignment:
· Participate in Lesson 4 Group Discussion: Hiring a Social Media Director available on Pynes’ text (2013, p. 170).
