NARRATIVE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AS POTENTIAL SOURCES OF JOB ANALYSIS RATINGS
研究将121个军事医疗机构的叙事性职位描述转化为定量评分，发现评分者一致性可接受，且与能力估计值高度相关，为利用叙事文本进行工作分析提供了可行方法。
The present study investigated whether narrative job descriptions could be converted to quantitative rating scores using traditional job analysis questionnaire techniques. Detailed written descriptions of 121 job categories in a military health care facility were rated using the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ). Indices of interrater agreement suggested acceptable levels of agreement for job dimension scores derived from these ratings. Further, when regressed against GATB abilities estimates, the job dimension scores produced values very similar to those reported by previous studies using the PAQ. Finally, cluster analyses of the 121 job categories suggested that the dimensions reflected important differences and similarities among the job categories and thus provided a viable means of grouping jobs into higher order families. Potential uses for data derived from narrative job descriptions are discussed.
