and behaviors necessary to perform jobs are identified.
A job description is a written statement that describes what a job holder
does, how it’s done, and why it’s done. It typically includes job content, job
environment, and conditions of employment.
Determining Future Employment Needs
Demand for human resources (employees) is a result of demand for the organization’s products or services.
If job openings exist, they can begin recruitment—that is, the process of locating, identifying, and attracting capable applicants. In contrast, if employment planning indicates a surplus, managers may want to reduce the labor supply and initiate downsizing or restructuring activities.

miniature replica of the job) and assessment centers (which simulate real
problems one may face on the job). The former is suited to persons applying
for routine jobs; the latter to managerial personnel.

managers should consider a realistic job preview (RJP), which includes
both positive and negative information about the job and the company. For
