Abstract

This study aimed to identify the reality of job analysis practices in improving employee performance, through a field study at the Bir al- Ghanam Fine Gypsum Factory. The study relied on a descriptive analytical approach and used a questionnaire to collect data from a study sample of (60) male and female employees. By analyzing the data using the statistical analysis program (SPSS), the study concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are: There is a greater representation of males and middle-age groups within the study sample. Job analysis practices in the factory enjoy a high degree of compatibility, but some aspects, such as fairness of classification and provision of information, need to be strengthened. Employee performance is classified as average, with areas for improving training, stimulating creativity, and participation. There is a positive, statistically significant relationship between job analysis practices and improving employee performance. Accordingly, the study recommended a set of recommendations, the most prominent of which are working to improve fairness in job classification and providing sufficient information to employees regarding their duties, strengthening ongoing training programs and making them available in a timely manner to all employees, and developing a system of material and moral incentives that encourages the presentation of new ideas and creativity. It is necessary to encourage more effective employee participation in the decision-making process to improve overall performance, and to benefit from the results of the study to develop job analysis practices that contribute to raising the efficiency and quality of employee performance.
