DEVELOPMENT - JOB ELEMENTS
Job elements are:
- Quality of work;
- Quantity of work;
- Work habits;
- Relationships with other persons;
- Taking action independently;
- Meeting work commitments;
- Analyzing situations and materials; and
- Supervising the work of other persons (if supervising the work of other persons is part of the responsibilities of an employee).
Tasks, or minor assignments and responsibilities, are to be included within a broader description of the job elements and responsibilities of the position.
Work performance standards are typically written using a results-standard, behavior-oriented standard, or a combination of both types. Results standards focus on the process for accomplishing results. Behavior-oriented standards focus on the manner in which results are accomplished.
DEVELOPMENT - PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Standards of the job elements are specific to each position.
General measures of performance standards can be based on quality, quantity, timeliness or cost effectiveness. The choice of measure should be based on what the anticipated outcome will be and what is most important to the customer or stakeholder and should be observable and realistic. A performance standard that allows for no errors should be used in only limited circumstances.
