What are the differences between job design and job analysis?

Job analysis is a sequential undergoing the following steps:

Job Description: Job Description is a list which contains tasks and functions and responsibility of a position which are to be performed. It is a written statement mentioning the job title, duties and responsibilities involved in a job.

 Many people take the job design and the job analysis as two different names for one activity. Honestly, there is a difference between job design and job analysis.

The job design and job analysis have different purposes. The job design is about designing or re-designing a new job profile and setting the correct ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. The job design is about using several theoretical approaches to bring the balance between creative and routine part of the job.

The job design uses several techniques like
  Exploration of tasks and the tasks are sorted, evaluated and optimized.

2.    Based on tasks, the right set of responsibilities is defined for the job as the employee can perform the job smoothly and the organization can still keep the control over the employee.

3.      Based on the analysis of the tasks, the right order of the jobs is determined and the employees are asked to follow the right procedure as the organization runs at the minimum possible costs.

4.      The job design is always accompanied but the job enlargement and job enrichment as the employees are not bored by the job and they have a chance to bring new ideas and innovations into their daily tasks.

The job design is done as the organization needs to keep the number of employees at the affordable level and the result of the job design can result in many savings in FTEs and costs. The correct job design can bring the elimination of many process steps and it can help the organization to react quicker to the requests of the customers.

The job analysis is about the analysis of the current jobs and it is can be used as the input to the job design. The job analysis is about sorting the jobs of the current employees and looking for the synergies.
The job analysis is used for the evaluation of the jobs, not for designing new job profiles. The job analysis can help to compare the jobs of employees and to bring a new systematic approach to the structure of the jobs in the organization.

The input to the job analysis should not be theoretic, it has to be based on the real employees and real duties conducted as the results are realistic and the team can compare real results
